No exception when there's no DTD

[Mu...@GDM.DE]

Xerces does not throw an exception if the XML document's DTD is not
available.

I need to do the following to check for this:

DOM_Document doc = parser.getDocument();
DOM_Element docElement = doc.getDocumentElement();
if(docElement.isNull())
{
        //Handle this error.
}

Previously I never had any need to call DOM_Element::getDocumentElement(),
so this seems non-intuitive. If it is allowed in the DOM specification,
could you change it so that it throws an exception?
