If you use the Java API to Saxon, it allows you to nominate a SAX parser of
your choice. You could nominate a parser which is a simple subclass of John
Cowan's ParserFilter (www.ccil.org/~cowan), which delegates all the work to
a real parser but nominates its own EntityResolver. The EntityResolver could
then select which DTD to use, or construct a DTD dynamically, based on some
environment parameter.
