Entity nodes hold the reference data for an XML Entity -- either parsed or unparsed. The nodeName (inherited from Node) will contain the name (if any) of the Entity. Its data will be contained in the Entity's children, in exactly the structure which an EntityReference to this name will present within the document's body.
Note that this object models the actual entity, _not_ the entity declaration or the entity reference.
An XML processor may choose to completely expand entities before the structure model is passed to the DOM; in this case, there will be no EntityReferences in the DOM tree.
Quoting the 10/01 DOM Proposal,
"The DOM Level 1 does not support editing Entity nodes; if a user wants to make changes to the contents of an Entity, every related EntityReference node has to be replaced in the structure model by a clone of the Entity's contents, and then the desired changes must be made to each of those clones instead. All the descendants of an Entity node are readonly."I'm interpreting this as: It is the parser's responsibilty to call the non-DOM operation setReadOnly(true,true) after it constructs the Entity. Since the DOM explicitly decided not to deal with this, _any_ answer will involve a non-DOM operation, and this is the simplest solution.@xerces.internal

Clone node.
Returns the absolute base URI of this node or null if the implementation wasn't able to obtain an absolute URI. Note: If the URI is malformed, a null is returned.
An attribute specifying the encoding used for this entity at the tiome
of parsing, when it is an external parsed entity. This is
null
if it an entity from the internal subset or if it
is not known..
A short integer indicating what type of node this is. The named constants for this value are defined in the org.w3c.dom.Node interface.
Unparsed entities -- which contain non-XML data -- have a "notation name" which tells applications how to deal with them. Parsed entities, which are in XML format, don't need this and set it to null.
The public identifier associated with the entity. If not specified, this will be null.
The system identifier associated with the entity. If not specified, this will be null.
DOM Level 3 WD - experimental the encoding of this entity, when it is an external parsed entity.
DOM Level 3 WD - experimental the version number of this entity, when it is an external parsed entity.
DOM Level 2: Unparsed entities -- which contain non-XML data -- have a "notation name" which tells applications how to deal with them. Parsed entities, which are in XML format, don't need this and set it to null.
DOM Level 2: The public identifier associated with the entity. If not specified, this will be null.
DOM Level 2: The system identifier associated with the entity. If not specified, this will be null.
NON-DOM encoding - An attribute specifying, as part of the text declaration, the encoding of this entity, when it is an external parsed entity. This is null otherwise
NON-DOM version - An attribute specifying, as part of the text declaration, the version number of this entity, when it is an external parsed entity. This is null otherwise
