How about a 2x2 matrix?

With DTD
    setValidate(false) - checks for well-formedness, external subset is used
for entity and notation declarations, etc.
    setValidate(true) - full validation

Without DTD
    setValidate(false) - just checks for well-formedness
    setValidate(true) - throws an exception
