This is something that happens during XML parsing, not during XSLT
processing. Most XML parsers, if the document has a DOCTYPE, will try to
dereference it; and for XSLT processing this is pretty-well mandatory
because of the problem of entity references.
There are mechanisms (OASIS catalogs) that allow you to redirect the parser
to a local copy of the DTD, but you can't entirely avoid reading it except
by removing the reference to it.

Subject: [xsl] DTDs and offline processing
I run into problems using Saxon on documents containing a DOCTYPE
declaration because it tried to look up the DTD even when I'm offline.
Is there a way to avoid this, short of removing the declaration?
The other problem is that without the DTD, entities can't be
looked up,
so I get an error. From what I could see in the FAQs, the only way
round that is to temporarily change &thing; into
[[AMP]]something_else;,
with sed. Any alternatives?
regards,
Tom SW
