I thought Xalan was an XSLT processor that relied on an XML parser like
Xerces to do the dirty work of parsing the XML and XSLT documents it
processes. How exactly are you making Xalan do this?

It isn't wrong for an XML parser to go look at the remote DTD, but it is
wrong for it to actually insert it into the XML. How did you accomplish
this?

What are you trying to do, anyway? Transform the XML to something else?

Are you trying to create a <!DOCTYPE> in your output? There are attributes
in the xsl:output instruction for achieving that.
