a case in OASIS test suite

[Takuki Kamiya]

While I tried to evaluate a parser's conformance against OASIS test cases,
I found a test case which I believe is not WF (well-formed) but is actually
be classified as NV (not valid) in the test suite.

Its case id is "inv-not-sa03" which looks just as follows.


<?xml version='1.0' standalone='yes'?>

<!DOCTYPE attributes SYSTEM "../valid/sa.dtd" [
    <!--
 External entity ref
    -->
]>

<attributes
    token = "b"
    id = "external-&number;"
  />


After revisiting the description in XML 1.0 Sec. 4.1, It still looks non-WF
to me.

Does anybody care to explain me if the XML above is indeed WF?

Thanks in advance,
