I'm afraid that's not possible by defintion.
You can have either well formed standalone XML document without a DTD at all
or you supply the DTD file using DOCTYPE directive. If you say
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<myroot>
...
</myroot>
The XML parser in this case can check only whether the XML document
is well formed and that's it.
On the other hand in Xerces-C is possible to reuse DTD for multiple XML
files which follow the same DTD definition. They can't have internal DTD
subset in this case. Please look at the FAQ and/or archives for this topic.
