DocumentType is an Extended DOM feature, used in XML documents but not in HTML.

Note that Entities and Notations are no longer children of the DocumentType, but are parentless nodes hung only in their appropriate NamedNodeMaps.

This area is UNDERSPECIFIED IN REC-DOM-Level-1-19981001 Most notably, absolutely no provision was made for storing and using Element and Attribute information. Nor was the linkage between Entities and Entity References nailed down solidly.

 <!doctype example SYSTEM "ex.dtd" [
 <!ENTITY foo "foo">
 <!ENTITY bar "bar">
 <!ENTITY % baz "baz">
 ]>
 

The Entities map includes foo and bar, but not baz. It is promised that only Nodes which are Entities will exist in this NamedNodeMap.

For HTML, this will always be null.

Note that "built in" entities such as & and < should be converted to their actual characters before being placed in the DOM's contained text, and should be converted back when the DOM is rendered as XML or HTML, and hence DO NOT appear here.
