Summary: Unneccessary comments from external DTD

Initial Comment:
When reading document that uses external DTD with
xml.dom.ext.reader.Sax2.Reader and then writting it
with xml.dom.ext.Print or PrettyPrint the output
includes unneccessary comments from the DTD.

Here is a sample of code:
-- cut ---
from xml.dom import implementation
from xml.dom import DOMException
from xml.dom.ext.reader.Sax2 import Reader
from xml.dom.ext import PrettyPrint

import cStringIO

doc_str="""
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0
Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xml:lang="en" lang="en"/>
"""

reader=Reader()
doc=reader.fromStream(cStringIO.StringIO(doc_str))
PrettyPrint(doc)
-- cut ---

And here is a fragment of its output:
-- cut ---
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>                

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd" "-//W3
C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN">
<html xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'
xml:lang='en' lang='en'/>
<!--
   Extensible HTML version 1.0 Strict DTD             

   This is the same as HTML 4 Strict except for       

   changes due to the differences between XML and SGML.
