 * explicitly provide one. The application can register an object that
 * implements this interface with the parser configuration. If registered,
 * it will be queried to locate an external subset when none is provided,
 * even for documents that do not contain DOCTYPE declarations. If the
 * registered external subset resolver does not provide an external subset
 * for a given document, it should return <code>null.
