Not necessarily true. You can tell Xerces to read the DTD but not validate or not to read the external DTD subset at all. I forget which mode is the default, but I don't think it's validating.
This statement was in the validation-on context, which is currently needed to turn on XML Schema validation. But you're right, it's the default behavior but not necessarily true, as other postings have shown.
