Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/ jpeg;q=0, gif; q=0

An XML Parsing error occurs when I load a XUL file with a corresponding DTD, 
and the DTD has international characters, like below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!ENTITY dtd_bug_msg1 "There is a bug here!!">
<!ENTITY dtd_bug_msg2 "Tem um bug que é o cão chupando manga!!">

Firefox is ignoring the encoding declaration. Only functions if the DTD file is 
saved as UTF-8 encoding by the text editor.




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a XUL file as below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="chrome://global/skin" type="text/css"?>

<!DOCTYPE dialog SYSTEM "bug_dtd_encoding.dtd">

<dialog id="dtd_bug_test"
	xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"
	title="DTD Bug Test Dialog"
	buttons="accept,cancel">
	<vbox flex="1">
		<description>&dtd_bug_msg1;</description>
		<description>&dtd_bug_msg2;</description>
	</vbox> 
</dialog>

2. Create the corresponding DTD, save as DOS/ASCII (not UTF-8):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!ENTITY dtd_bug_msg1 "There is a bug here!!">
<!ENTITY dtd_bug_msg2 "Tem um bug que é o cão chupando manga!!">

3. Run the xul file

Actual Results:  
XML Parsing Error: error in processing external entity reference:

<!DOCTYPE dialog SYSTEM "bug_dtd_encoding.dtd">

Expected Results:  
Followed the xml encoding declaration, accepting the international characters 
in DTD.
