There's no technical reason it can't, however Xerces only provides an implementation of the Validation API for XML Schema. If you would like to use this capability I'd suggest converting your DTDs to XSDs. You can do it on the fly with the NekoDTD converter [1] and the stylesheets [2] provided with it. > In our project we use JAXP transformer and pipe different > transformations together.
