Suggestion: DTM support the Xerces nonvalidating/load-dtd-grammar feature

[Noah Green <nj...@rcn.com>]

Hi,
Please ignore my previous questions (looks like you already did ;-) ).
Anyway, I noticed that DTM does not support the
http://apache.org/xml/features/nonvalidating/load-dtd-grammar
feature that Xerces does.  This is the one that tells the parser not
to try and load in a DTD mentioned in a documents <!DOCTYPE>.

I wonder if in the future, there might be any desire among anyone to have
that feature for the DTM parser, as well.  I have been processing
a lot of documents with non-existent DTDs, but since I am not interested in
validating the documents, I would like to keep Xalan from trying to load the
DTDs. In the meantime I will use the Xerces liaison, but since DTM is faster
for big docs it would be neat if sometime in the future this might be
implemented.

Hi,
    count me in for the one interested with this feature.  If I found some
time I'll look into it but right now I can't.
