/**
 * Defines a DTD source. In other words, any object that implements
 * this interface is able to emit DTD "events" to the registered
 * DTD handler. These events could be produced by parsing an XML
 * document's internal or external subset, could be generated from 
 * some other source, or could be created programmatically. This 
 * interface does not say <em>how</em> the events are created, only 
 * that the implementor is able to emit them.
