Interesting.  The DOMBuilder class has the flag for validation but never
uses it anywhere.   The reason it doesn't use is that the DOMBuilder doesn't
do any parsing; it's handed a DOM tree and the parsing has already happened.
It's the adapter that has to do the validation.  Here is slightly modified
code from the DOMBuilder sample to correctly turn validation on and off. 

DOMAdapter domadapter;
FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(filename);
try {
	Class parserClass = Class.forName(domAdapterClass);
	domadapter = (DOMAdapter)parserClass.newInstance();
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {//stuff here}


// Build the JDOM Document - validating is off by default for this example
// because of the document root issue

boolean validate = true;
org.w3c.dom.Document w3cdoc = domadapter.getDocument((InputStream)in,
validate);
Document doc = builder.build(w3cdoc);
