I'm a bit confused here. I have looked at this, and it only contains
<!DOCTYPE rfc SYSTEM "rfc2629.dtd">, no ENTITY declarations. Can you

I just reloaded it and it does indeed show 3 x PUBLIC and 10 x SYSTEM entities. They are in the page sourc/e if displayed directly with Firefox or if saving link.

Elwyn.
