I understand that, but assuming I didnt realy care about entities and wished
them to be left alone is this possible. Say for example i wish to walk a DOM
tree and extract a particular subtree of the document and store that.

Validation isn't the only thing a parser uses a DTD for.  That's how it
resolves entity references as well.  If you associate an XML document
with a DTD it's reasonable for the parser to go looking for it.
