Ok makes sense.
What you are actually saying is that there is no way you can force
this to be an error, unless having a processor that would be willing
to do so?
So an option could be to have something like a catalog that could
supply a small DTD to validate against. Like containing a root element
and allow any (mixed) content.

In a document without any DTD, a document with only an internal DTD subset
which contains no parameter entity references, or a document with "
standalone='yes'
then an entity reference means that the document is not well formed and so
it is a "fatal error" from which an xml parser is not allowed to recover,
if there is an external dtd subset that has not been read then a reference
is a validity error which means that a non validating parser id not obliged
to report it.
