First, you should create the document with the document type as follows:
DOMImplementation impl;
impl = new DOMImplemenation();
doc = impl.createDocument( null, "dibob", impl.createDocumentType(
"dibob", null, "dibob.dtd" ) );
Second, you should try getting the latest Xerces release from the CVS,
since it contains bug fixes to the document type printing code. It's not
working in 1.0.1, almost always working in 1.0.2, but has two bug fixes
in the CVS version (since two days ago).
