Beyond the XSLT issue, there is a semantic flaw if you need to
differentiate null from default values as defined in the DTD ;) ...

If it's not the case, you can just test that the 3 values of the
attribute are not all equal to their default values.

Otherwise, if you do need to force the parser to skip the DTD and if you
are using a SAX parser, you can implement a specific entity resolver
that will skip this DTD...
