relax-ng, schemata, DTD are in their simple forms all just syntactic permutations of 
the same semantic language. The types and subtypes make the language interesting for 
validation purposes, but not very much so for typesetting.

Anyway, parsing the internal subset and/or DTDs is not hard nor is it overly expensive 
in computing type, so I will probably add that to the parser as soon as I understand 
it's inner workings again. (I need the ENTITY's, not for xml inclusion but for image 
inclusion).
