[jdom-interest] RE: Newbie can't parse document!

[Mike_Buck at mapinfo.com]

Their is a bug in the Xerces parser. Even though validation is set to false
it still tries to download the external DTD specified in the DOCTYPE. Their
are even comments in the code asking if they should do that! Xerces v1.1.2
works fine but v1.2.0 and above do not.
