[relaxng-user] Re: Can Jing simply ignore <!DOCTYPE ..>

[Bob Foster]

I believe this means that in order to implement -standalone, MSV had to 
use a Xerces-dependent option. Not all parsers support the ability to 
ignore a DOCTYPE declaration. (Though I don't know, it is probably the 
case that Crimson doesn't, or MSV would likely support it, too, for this 
feature.)

It does _not_ mean that if you select this option, Xerces will validate 
instead of MSV.
