I read a lot of HTML files from a lot of sites and DTD references can
cause a lot of trouble. So routinely when I process HTML (often not
XHTML, of course) I strip the DTD reference automatically. This has to
be done by something other than XOM even if the document is well
formed. Then I pass it to Tidy or TagSoup and thence to XOM.
