+ * Receive notification of basic DTD-related events.
+ *
+ * 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.
+ *
+ * Note that this interface includes only those DTD events that the
+ * XML recommendation requires processors to report: notation and
+ * unparsed entity declarations.
+ *
+ * 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 LexicalHandler is used, these events
+ * must also be reported before the endDTD event.)
