You will probably explore quicker than me, but the DTD in :

http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/03/WD-SVG-20000303/DTD/svg-20000303-stylable.dtd

reads (excluding comments) :

<!ENTITY % StylableSVG "INCLUDE" >
<!ENTITY % ExchangeSVG "IGNORE" >
<!ENTITY % SVGNamespace "http://www.w3.org/2000/svg-20000303-stylable"; >
<!ENTITY % Shared PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 20000303 Shared//EN" 
"svg-20000303-shared.dtd" >
%Shared;

and so presumably declares the parameter entity...
