There's no File magic.  Here's the code from SAXHandler:

    public void startDTD(String name, String publicId, String systemId)
        throws SAXException {

        document.setDocType(
            new DocType(name, publicId, systemId));
        inDTD = true;
    }

And XMLOutputter just prints the raw string.  My guess is SAX does the
conversion.
