Details:

The new NSXMLParser implementation sends tags in inline DTDs as start tags to
the parser delegate. This breaks existing parsers, which may receive
unexpected (for them) tags.

Test case attach below. Compile parserTest.m with
  gcc `gnustep-config --objc-flags` parserTest.m -o parserTest
`gnustep-config --base-libs`
then run it with the attached sample XML file
  ./parserTest ct.xml

The output begins with
<!ATTLIST>
 <!ELEMENT>
  <!ATTLIST>
   <!ELEMENT>
    <!ELEMENT>
     <cTree>
      <function>
but should really start with the cTree tag. This is the case for both Apple's
implementation and the libxml based implementation of GNUstep's NSXMLParser.

For reference, the expected output (as computed by running the sample on OS
X) is in file ct.out.
