  I don't see there the description for input source, and sorry I won't
go fetch and read the Java documentation...

  It's possible at the C layer, read the xmlIO.h header file !

  No, I have tons of other things to do. And the capability is already
available at the C level. Read the C interface, tell me if that's
what you need. I don't have the time to be the one learning in this
process, your are the requester, your see what is already available.
If you need a python interface define it, check first that the stuff
in xmlIO.h should be sufficient for it. I may write the glue if it's
not too hard.
  And sorry a resolver is an entity which taking a pair (System, Public)
of identifiers, returns an URI to use, that's the normal usage of the term
so please take also the time to learn the terminology too. Asking for
a resolver hook has this very precise semantic, if it doesn't fit your
needs, maybe you've made me loose time trying to fullfill your initial
query :-(
