[XML-SIG] SAX2: LexicalHandler

I think you're missing an "If" at the beginning of the last sentence.

>   def startDTD(self, root, publicID, systemID):
>     """This event is reported when the DOCTYPE declaration is
>     encountered. root is the name of the root element type, while the two last
>     parameters are the public and system identifiers of the external

Excellent.  This would fill a huge hole in SAX -> DOM building.

>   def endDTD(self):
>     "This event is reported after the DTD has been parsed."
> 
>   def startEntity(self, name):
>     """Reports the beginning of a new entity. If the entity is the
>     external DTD subset the name will be '[dtd]'."""
> 
>   def endEntity(self, name):
>     pass
> 
>   def startCDATA(self):
>     pass
> 
>   def endCDATA(self):
>     pass
