Identical production rules

[Pierre Morel]

Why the XML specs declare two production rules with identical structure ?

[30]  extSubset ::=  TextDecl? extSubsetDecl

and

[79]  extPE ::=  TextDecl? extSubsetDecl

I don't understand very well the purpose of having two identical production
rules.

Best regards,

Pierre Morel
