Agreed. To change the location or indeed content of a DTD you can use EntityResolvers.
If you wanted to validate an XML document which had no DOCTYPE declaration then you could use Sun's MSV library to validate it explicitly. There's an example in src/samples/validate/JARVDemo.java that shows how to do this kinda thing.
