Sorry, but I do not understand: With the unchanged code (i.e. the test on 
expand is present), it seems the SAX parser still fires the DTD events but 
DocType's internalSet then contains only the DTD comments.

I don't mind setting one or two flags but I'd like to make sure that either 
DocType's internalSet is complete or totally empty.

One last question: You use "internal subset"; what's the difference between an 
"internal subset" and the document DTD?
