Receive notification of basic DTD-related events.

for further information.
If a SAX application needs information about notations and
unparsed entities, then the application implements this
interface and registers an instance with the SAX parser using
the parser's setDTDHandler method. The parser uses the
instance to report notation and unparsed entity declarations to
the application.
Note that this interface includes only those DTD events that
the XML recommendation requires processors to report:
notation and unparsed entity declarations.
The SAX parser may report these events in any order, regardless
of the order in which the notations and unparsed entities were
declared; however, all DTD events must be reported after the
document handler's startDocument event, and before the first
startElement event.
(If the LexicalHandler
is
used, these events must also be reported before the endDTD event.)
It is up to the application to store the information for
future use (perhaps in a hash table or object tree).
If the application encounters attributes of type "NOTATION",
"ENTITY", or "ENTITIES", it can use the information that it
obtained through this interface to find the entity and/or
notation corresponding with the attribute value.
