I think this was to avoid dumping notations which were coming
from the external subset of the document when saving the document
itself. One trick would be to set dtd->doc to NULL before calling
xmlDtdDumpOutput.
Note that this won't match the external subset, you will only get
a single 'flat' file output of the subset in use, but this can be
useful sometimes.
