Saxon: no DTD, bad DTD generates no error, no output?

["Randall J. Parr" <RParr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Using Saxon 5.4.1 Java API with Sun JDK 1.2.2 on RedHat Linux 6.0 (with
updates) with default parser, etc.

Trying to right a very simple "identity"Java utilty that reads an XML
file and copies/writes the results on stdout (ie System.out).

IF
    the source XML file has no <DOCTYPE .... >
    or the the souce XML file has a <DOCTYPE ...> but the source is
invalid for the referenced DTD
THEN
    no errors are generated
    no output is generated

Is this correct?

If it is correct, how do I :
1) generate an error/warning if requiste DTD is missing/bad
or
2) get output when I don't have a DTD

Thanks
