Hmmmm. Let me think about that.

Part of the problem here is that namespaces were introduced after the 
XML spec, so you get into odd situations where DTD behavior is 
non-namespace-aware but later layers *are* namespace aware.

So I think I may be wrong;  the inclusion -- because external entities 
are defined by the XML spec rather than XML-plus-namespaces -- probably 
should have occurred syntactically, and probably should have picked up 
the namespace context at the point where you brought it in.

Interesting. I need to dig into this one more deeply to really convince 
myself, and I should try it in a parser I trust to see what it thinks 
should happen.

Which parser are you using?
