Remember all the times people get bit by msxml's default validation, when they just want to add one entity declaration with a DOCTYPE. This is one of thoses cases that beg for validation and other DTD processing to be in separate processing steps. At any rate, I think "most" people don't expect the processor to do anything except add whatever DTD declarations they see in the document itself (the internal subset), but they do expect them to be processed so that entities can be defined, etc. That may not be completely logical, but "most" people probably aren't up on what they think are the fine points.
