Moreover, the XML + * processor may completely expand references to entities while building the + * structure model, instead of providing <code>EntityReference</code> + * objects. If it does provide such objects, then for a given + * <code>EntityReference</code> node, it may be that there is no + * <code>Entity</code> node representing the referenced entity. If such an + * <code>Entity</code> exists, then the subtree of the + * <code>EntityReference</code> node is in general a copy of the + * <code>Entity</code> node subtree.
