I don't think it is trivial...
AFAIK there is no way to say to a parser "ignore the DTD".
Validating is one thing but loading the DTD is another.
As there is no way to really know what the DTD is for (could be to resolve
some entities)
There is one step to this by specifying an XML document as standalone in the
declaration:
<?xml standalone="yes">
but I believe this is very parser dependent. For instance Crimson has a
specific feature 'fastStandalone' that can only be set by accessing the
Parser2 instance...
(and I think this is half implemented, not sure)
One common hack is to perform a replace in the document to remove/comment
the doctype tag...
This is also why a regex replace is your friend...
