Entities and default XML structures

If the records are inserted in the output stream via XML entity replacement or default generation, then offset information records will be generated, and the varied information field will represent the offset of the ‘;’ character of the entity reference in the main document or the ‘>’ character of the element which contains the default attribute. Also, all information records generated from entities will have the entity flag bit set ON.

Default XML structures include any of the following:
Attributes
These can be generated from DTDs or schemas.
Namespace declarations
These can be generated from DTDs or schemas.
Start tags and end tags
These can be generated from schemas only.
Content
These can be generated from schemas only and only within default start and end tags.
