quick parser question

["Malloy, John W." <Ma...@ncslink.com>]

Can somebody please tell me what this error is referring to, it seems a
little difficult to interpret:

Parser error: White space must not occur between elements declared in an
external parsed entity with element content in a standalone document.

If you have an external entity foo.xml that you include in bar.xml then all
elements-only content in foo.bat cannot have white-space.

This should be okay, adding white space (like line feeds or space between
the <doc> and &foo;) will apparently dork it.

==== bar.xml =====

<!DOCTYPE doc
[
<!ELEMENT doc (foo,foo)>
<!ENTITY foo SYSTEM 'foo.xml'>
]>
<doc>&foo;</doc>

=== foo.xml =====

<foo/><foo/>
