There is a serious problem right now with the XML terminology. There
are at least four Java-based XML parsers right now that will parse a
DTD:

- Lark
- MSXML
- NXP (a little out of date)
- =C6lfred

Of these, I think that only MSXML claims to be validating. Do you
need full validation, or do you just need a DTD-driven parser that
will pick up entity declarations, default attribute values, etc? We
really need to invent some better terms, since validation and
DTD-awareness are really separate concepts.

All the best,

David
