  Okay then this methods will not work unless the incoming XML
point with a DOCTYPE to the DTD it uses.

  I this case this won't help the problem ain't with the data

  Send me some RAM so my compiles are faster :-)

 Quick v2:
  Add a DOCTYPE to the received XML. If needed set-up you own external
entity loader to fetch the DTD.

 Serious:
  This should not be too hard to implement, I'm just busy with 2.2.5 and
XPointer wich I would like to both get quickly out. Will add to TODO
