You are kind of out of luck. The problem is that internal subset stuff has
to override external subset stuff. So if we allowed you to have internal
subset, this wouldn't work, since you'd overwrite it every time. Or we'd
have to make a complete copy of everything and put it back each time. About
the only thing you could do would be to keep the dummy file and DTD in
memory, and do a pre-parse each time of the dummy file, to cause the DTD
info to be reloaded. Then parse the target file with the reuseValidator flag
set.

Dean,
Thanks for the information. Right now, the files to be parsed do not have
any internal subset, so your suggestion will work. However, if internal
subsets were to come into the picture, what would I resort to then?
Thanks in advance,
Mary Huang
