How can I put entity refs back into a document?

Can anyone help us with this:

Is there an easy way to process an XML document and put the entity 
references back into it?

Explanation: We are processing an XML document using SAX which 
expands the entity references using the declarations in the DTD. But 
as SAX does not tell us about the actual entity declarations (or even 
the references), when the XML document is written out we cannot put 
these entity references back into the file!

Is there software available to read in an XML document and DTD and 
output the document with entity references used wherever possible?
