  it is possible since the SAX callbacks do this.
It is not simple, you can look at the attributeDecl callback for example
in SAX.c
You may also parse the content "<!ATTLIST CRReq id ID #IMPLIED>"
with xmlParseDTD() or xmlIOParseDTD() and then add it as the child of
the document node.
In both case you will probably need to use your debugger and read some
of libxml code before getting a working version.
