what if not the sdecl?

I didn't get that impression. Larry mentioned a font in which Xerox's
logo appeared, but he could get at that through an entity (once
we allow internal subsets ... or hijack LINK for the purpose), and
doesn't need it in the charset. Mention was made of 3 Taiwanese
characters, which could be treated similarly.

Allowing that 5% spoils the 95%, so far as I can see. Please,
let's quash this proposal unless someone wants to work out what
the implied SGML decl would be for such a case (and how the client
knows how to construct it) and demonstrates how an SGML parser
would deal with the text of the case.
