This works fine for me with both Woodstox and the Java6 StAX implementation.

I don't know what would be causing this, I can only guess that the StAX implementation that you're using, does things differently than the Java6 one and Woodstox (See also http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5150576&messageID=9565344). For now, I think you can safely drop the DOCTYPE (the XML parsing in trunk is quite lenient). An upcoming version will btw. give the ability to use XML Schema instead of DTD which should do away with this problem. Tom
