Hi Mike,
From my experience with this tool, the DTD is not treated as a primary
part of the document in VW. Notice that when you parse a document
from file, the document is returned with only the body content --
despite having a dtd instance variable. The DTD is actually parsed
all right, but it winds up in the Parser's dtd instance variable.
Given this observation, it seems unlikely to me that the DTD is
supported as part of the document model. However, I have not searched
exhaustively for the support you are seeking.
Regards.
