I can't figure out what the delimiter recognition mode [359] is
supposed to be when parsing an attribute specification list [327:17]
occurring in a data attribute specification [428:20]?  (This occurs in
an external entity specification [400:1] in an entity declaration
[394:18].)  I thought initially it would be MD mode but attribute
specifications use the VI delimiter which is recognized only in TAG
mode [360, figure 3], and TAG mode is said to apply only in a
start-tag or an end-tag [361:5], and in any case the DSC delimiter is
not recognized in TAG mode.  What am I missing?  I have a similar
problem with result attribute specifications [446:8] and link
attribute specifications [443:16].
