Small confusion here (maybe someone reported this already):

The SAX documentation for the "resolve-dtd-uris" feature states that
the value of true represents the required behaviour before this feature
was added (and made it optional), that is, system identifiers passed to
  a.. DTDHandler.notationDecl(), 
  b.. DTDHandler.unparsedEntityDecl(), and 
  c.. DeclHandler.externalEntityDecl()
must be fully absolutized.

However, only the the documentation for notationDecl() and
unparsedEntityDecl() confirms that this was the (old, default) rule.
The documentation for externalEntityDecl() states that the *declared*
system identifier must be passed.

Now, which one is true?
