 *
 * <p>If a SAX application needs information about notations and
 * unparsed entities, then the application implements this 
 * interface and registers an instance with the SAX parser using 
 * the parser's setDTDHandler method.  The parser uses the 
 * instance to report notation and unparsed entity declarations to 
 * the application.</p>
 *
 * <p>Note that this interface includes only those DTD events that
 * the XML recommendation <em>requires</em> processors to report:
 * notation and unparsed entity declarations.</p>
 *
 * <p>The SAX parser may report these events in any order, regardless
 * of the order in which the notations and unparsed entities were
 * declared; however, all DTD events must be reported after the
 * document handler's startDocument event, and before the first
 * startElement event.
 * (If the {@link org.xml.sax.ext.LexicalHandler LexicalHandler} is
 * used, these events must also be reported before the endDTD event.)
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>It is up to the application to store the information for 
 * future use (perhaps in a hash table or object tree).
 * If the application encounters attributes of type "NOTATION",
 * "ENTITY", or "ENTITIES", it can use the information that it
 * obtained through this interface to find the entity and/or
 * notation corresponding with the attribute value.</p>
