Re: how do I detect internal subset when part of external subset?

The trick is to look for the entity name "[dtd]". XOM accomplishes this 
thusly using pure SAX:


     protected boolean inExternalSubset = false;

     // We have a problem here. Xerces gets this right,
     // but Crimson and possibly other parsers don't properly
     // report these entities, or perhaps just not tag them
     // with [dtd] like they're supposed to.
     public void startEntity(String name) {
       if (name.equals("[dtd]")) inExternalSubset = true;
     }


     public void endEntity(String name) {
       if (name.equals("[dtd]")) inExternalSubset = false;
     }

You can just reverse the logic if you prefer inInternalSubset.
