If I understand things correctly, sgmlop cannot figure
out what's ignorable and not; you need to have access
to the DTD to handle that.

Our internal xml libraries allows the user to indicate
whether a resource is "xml text" or "xml data".  the
latter doesn't allow elements to contain both text
and other elements, which means that it's easy to
figure out what to ignore.
