Turning off XML validation is Style task

["McCollum , Angus" <AM...@grow.net>]

Is there a way to turn off XML validation in a Style task?

In particular I want to process a set of XML documents that use a public
document type. The Style task can find the DTD and produces the error below:

>ant

Buildfile: build.xml

outline:
    [style] Transforming into C:\outline
    [style] Transforming into C:\outline
    [style] Loading stylesheet C:\outline\outline.xsl
    [style] Failed to process T:\Documents\Problems.xml

BUILD FAILED

C:\outline\build.xml:9: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException:
java.io.FileNotFound
Exception: T:\Documents\mathnote.dtd (The system cannot find the file
specified)

There currently is no way to turn off validation for the <style> task, but
that seems like a reasonable feature request.

Its probably a fairly trivial modification... patches always welcome!  :)
