 You're on the edge of the XML processing model. Basically DTD validation
is defined as an extra operation at parsing time. Of course people
need it applied in different context, usually on a tree or an event flow,
hence the --postvalid switch, but it may occasionally work differently
than --valid. Should work in most cases though,
