	/// (including the external DTD subset and external parameter entities, if any) before  
	/// including them. 
	///  
	/// Many SAX applications will not need to implement this interface, but it will be  
	/// especially useful for applications that build XML documents from databases or other  
	/// specialised input sources, or for applications that use URI types other than URLs. 
	/// 
	/// The application can also use this interface to redirect system identifiers to local  
	/// URIs or to look up replacements in a catalog (possibly by using the public identifier).

		/// and that if none is returned, then the system ID will be dereferenced as a URL.
