Details

With something slightly similar to what I did in bug 1316187, I think it's possible to verify that all the entities in .dtd files are used at least once.

Unfortunately the list of entities used is different on each platform, but we ship the same localized files on all platforms, so the test running on a single platform can't report something useful, one has to merge/compare the results of a test run on every platforms to extract a list of potentially dead entities.

Not sure yet if this will turn out to be useful, but I think it's worth trying at least once.
I've tried to do this in bug 1203547, but it was horrible due to xul overlays, in particular on android.

How do we have xul overlays on android? And why did you r+'ed patch there never land?
Actually, overrides was the problem.

I didn't land because I didn't get the testing stuff in shape. Also the change to the chrome urls on mobile mid-aired with the reorgs in mobile.
Here is the list of entities used on neither of the 3 platforms:

I build this list by copying to local files the relevant parts of the test logs for the 3 platforms, then use this command line:
cat *|sed "s@.*entity: @@"|sort|uniq -c|grep '3 '|sed "s@.*3 @@"
