declares one, so a declaration is grounds to refuse the document rather
than something to expand carefully.
The check targets <!ENTITY rather than <!DOCTYPE because Logiqx DATs
legitimately carry a doctype pointing at logiqx.com, and ElementTree does
not resolve external entities, so a doctype alone fetches nothing.
`comments` keeps comments in the tree, for a file rewritten in place.
