This is a clever idea, but I'm not sure it's worth the trouble. The
parsing time (if you use catalogs and load the DTD from the local
disk, which we do) is less than 0.1 sec. If we're trying to shave
every ounce off of the frame for performance, maybe, but the real time
is spent actually applying the stylesheet, not in parsing the doc or
the stylesheet.
