The DOM Level 3 Core test entitygetxmlversion03 checks that the xmlVersion of an external entity which does not have a text declaration is null. However, Core only specifies that xmlVersion is null when the Entity is not an external parsed entity. It does not mention what should happen in the case of an external parsed entity with no text declaration; however by analogy with the treatment of Document.xmlVersion one might expect 1.0.
