Point of clarification.   I have an external parsed entity.  I use
it only as an external parsed entity.  Incidentally, it also parses
as an XML document, but this was never intended.  Which one should
I use?

The algorithm is as follows:

Is it well formed instance
  Yes: use a)
  No: use b)

This does not strike me as being especially difficult or complex.
