My real problem is that I am building a XML tree and I want to use the
getElementbyId method on the tree directly.
It would be very nice if it is possible to do it without including a
external dtd, since it takes some time to load every time.
The page http://blog.bitflux.ch/wiki/GetElementById_Pitfalls have some
information about my issue, but I have not found the path to go yet.
I am using php5.05 on Win32.
