Whether or not it is a validating parser isn't really Olav's issue though is it? I thought basically any parser will consider the dtd declaration in the doctype as an external entity that it will try to load, regardless of whether the parser can or is instructed to validate the document against it. Correct me if I'm wrong. But maybe he needs to write a custom entity resolver or something?
