This is what (sgml-parse) is in DSSSL for.  Beware, though, that if the
XML concrete syntax is not your default[1], you need to make sure the
system identifier includes it.  In Jade, this is done with something
like (string-append "<osfile>xml.decl" filename), where filename is the
system identifier of the external entity - I don't trust myself to get
the syntax right for finding that!  (but it can be done)

[1] i.e. if you write your command lines as [tool] xml.decl mydoc.xml

If you're not tied to XML, you might want to use SGML and SUBDOC
instead (but I'm not sure how that's supported in the tools).
