  libxml2 used to have a different DTD validation engine before I implemented
regexps. That's what we used for a couple of years, if you configure without
regexp it will fallback to that code. It may make the library code smaller
but that code has less testing and is not really maintained nowadays. It
may work for your purposes but it's not the preferred nor default option.
