            synchronizeData();
        }
        this.inputEncoding = inputEncoding;

NON-DOM, used to set the input encoding.

 public  void setNodeValue(String x) throws DOMException 
{
        if (ownerDocument.errorChecking && isReadOnly()) {
            String msg = DOMMessageFormatter.formatMessage(DOMMessageFormatter.DOM_DOMAIN, "NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR", null);
            throw new DOMException(DOMException.NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR, msg);
        }
}

Sets the node value.

        }
        notationName = name;
}

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.

 public  void setPrefix(String prefix) throws DOMException 
{
        if (ownerDocument.errorChecking && isReadOnly()) {
            throw new DOMException(DOMException.NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR,
                  DOMMessageFormatter.formatMessage(DOMMessageFormatter.DOM_DOMAIN,
                    "NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR", null));
        }
}

The namespace prefix of this node

 public  void setPublicId(String id)

        }
        encoding = value;
}

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
