In general, processing of the DTD is very weak in the DOM; it is
particularly weak in PyXML, and very weak in PyXML < 0.8.1.

What version have you been using? What XML parser?

In the DOM, the entities attribute of the DocumentType interface is
readonly, see

http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-DOM-Level-3-Core-20020409/core.html#ID-4122669=
27

Editing an individual Entity is not supported, either.

Of course, when you come up with patches to PyXML that go beyond those
specified interfaces, in a canonical way, without breaking anything,
we'd happily include those in PyXML 0.8.2.
