DOMEntity declaration modeling has been left for a
* later Level of the DOM specification.
* The nodeName attribute that is inherited from
* DOMNode contains the name of the entity.
*
An XML processor may choose to completely expand entities before the
* structure model is passed to the DOM; in this case there will be no
* DOMEntityReference nodes in the document tree.
*
XML does not mandate that a non-validating XML processor read and
* process entity declarations made in the external subset or declared in
* external parameter entities. This means that parsed entities declared in
* the external subset need not be expanded by some classes of applications,
* and that the replacement value of the entity may not be available. When
* the replacement value is available, the corresponding DOMEntity
* node's child list represents the structure of that replacement text.
* Otherwise, the child list is empty.
*
The DOM Level 2 does not support editing DOMEntity nodes; if a
* user wants to make changes to the contents of an DOMEntity,
* every related DOMEntityReference node has to be replaced in the
* structure model by a clone of the DOMEntity's contents, and
* then the desired changes must be made to each of those clones instead.
* DOMEntity nodes and all their descendants are readonly.
*
An DOMEntity node does not have any parent.If the entity
* contains an unbound namespace prefix, the namespaceURI of
* the corresponding node in the DOMEntity node subtree is
* null. The same is true for DOMEntityReference
* nodes that refer to this entity, when they are created using the
* createEntityReference method of the DOMDocument
* interface. The DOM Level 2 does not support any mechanism to resolve
* namespace prefixes.
*
