Scott Cantor resolved XERCESC-2070.
-----------------------------------
    Resolution: Fixed

r1800006

Support via XMLScanner and DOMLSParser classes to set the standard disallow-doctype property to true.

Evaluated the documentation and the other parser interfaces and concluded that without a standard to follow, the "Xerces way" to do this seems to have been to override the scanner class and use one of the DTD-ignoring versions. I wasn't aware of that when I originally added the environment workaround, but supporting the standard DOMLS property is more portable for applications to use.

> We should provide a way for applications that don't need DTDs to be insulated from bugs in that code.
> Trunk could do this pretty easily with the same property URI that Xerces-J and Java use for this.
> To do it without an ABI change, I'm going to patch in an environment variable check. It's ugly, but this is a problem of such magnitude that I don't see any other option, particularly given the lack of resources devoted to the project.
