Hello Chris, As I said in v7 it will be possible to disable the DTD validation when a schema is also specified (in v6 that was possible only if an XML Schema was also specified). Do you need to disable the DTD validation even in cases when a schema of some sort is not specified and there is only a DTD specified?

Neither of those options are universally applicable.
Consider the common case where a DTD is used for infoset augmentation (eg, declaring an attribute to be of type ID) or for entity declaration, but is not intended to be used for validation.

Excellent.
