## NAME
    [XML::DOM::Entity] - An XML ENTITY in [XML::DOM]

## DESCRIPTION
    [XML::DOM::Entity] extends [XML::DOM::Node].

    This node represents an Entity declaration, e.g.

     <!ENTITY % draft 'INCLUDE'>

     <!ENTITY hatch-pic SYSTEM "../grafix/OpenHatch.gif" NDATA gif>

    The first one is called a parameter entity and is referenced like this:
    %draft; The 2nd is a (regular) entity and is referenced like this:
    &hatch-pic;

  METHODS
    getNotationName
        Returns the name of the notation for the entity.

        *Not Implemented* The DOM Spec says: For unparsed entities, the name
        of the notation for the entity. For parsed entities, this is null.
        (This implementation does not support unparsed entities.)

    getSysId
        Returns the system id, or undef.

    getPubId
        Returns the public id, or undef.

    getValue
        Returns the entity value.

    getNdata
        Returns the NDATA declaration (for general unparsed entities), or
