there must be a difference between "not ignoring a DTD altogether"
and:

- parsing the DTD URL
- opening an HTTP connection trying to grab the DTD
- halting everything if the DTD is not retrieved for any reason.

Anyway, just to be totally clear, XML to me is just a slightly
more standard and sophisticated way to do comma-separated lists,
which, in a way, is all I need for my job. I think it's fair to require
that a tool like XOM delivers out of the box
what 'grep' has being delivering for 20 years.
