mystery #1: document() without validation

Can I force Xalan's implementation of document() to instance a
/non-validating/ parser?

Calling document() to load an XML file to merge with the current file
is apparently validating every sub-document -- in our case, the XML to
be merged does not need validation, and the DTDs are not even
available to the merging process -- validation causes an otherwise
correct system to fail.  Can I turn it off?
