I don't think this solves Wolfgang's problem. He's got an internal DTD 
subset stored off in a non-XML format and he needs to get it into XOM. 
He can't just parse it through the Builder because it may point to 
unavailable files. Am I missing something? Is there a way he could use 
SealedInternalDTDSubset?

Currently for some uses you can create a Document with your internal DTD 
subset in a String, build a Document from that, and then detach or clone 
the DocType you get there to put it in a new document. The problem is 
this doesn't quite work when the entities point at unavailable URIs.
