  and will quite often be given XML documents to read that contain <!DOCTYPE 
  declarations which point to nowhere sensible. Currently parsing will then fail, and I need to turn DTD reading off to avoid this problem.
  
! If Xerces does not add support for this I will need to hack support into Michael Kay's version of David Brownell's version of Microstar's �lfred, and I really would like to avoid that.

! I checked on the code and it appears that while we recognize the feature we 
! only let one set it to true, or raise a not supported exception. I would think 
! that supporting a feature implies we support both states...
! This said, we have a "proprietary" feature that allows one to turn off external 
! DTD loading. See 'load-external-dtd' in the features doc.
! I agree that it be good to implement external-parameter-entities and it should 
! be made so that setting it also sets load-external-dtd accordingly.
! Given that we have a solution to the specific problem reported I'm changing the 
! priority to Medium.
