* Note that because the XML DTD is strongly tied to the parsing process
* and has a significant effect on the parsing process, it is impossible
* to define the DTD validation as a process independent from parsing.
* For this reason, this specification does not define the semantics for
* the XML DTD. This doesn't prohibit implementors from implementing it
* in a way they see fit, but <em>users are warned that any DTD
* validation implemented on this interface necessarily deviate from
* the XML DTD semantics as defined in the XML 1.0</em>.
