Oh dear. I simply can't face taking my distro to bits yet again - it's 
predicated on 1.6. I've spent months over the last 10 years fighting 
Xerces. Our community just doesn't have the resources to continually 
reengineer every time it brings out a new version. It's easier to use 
sed to remove all the DOCTYPEs from every file I parse.
