[issue16798] DTD not checked

Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

You should ask for usage tips on python-list or other forums.
2.6 and 3.1 only get security fixes.
2.7 and 3.2,3.3 only get bug fixes.
This looks like a request for a new feature (assuming that it is not available now).
I am not familiar with the modules, but I expect that the request is out of scope for minidom. "xml.dom.minidom is a light-weight implementation of the Document Object Model interface. It is intended to be simpler than the full DOM and also significantly smaller."

Eli, is etree open to new features and might the request be a sensible addition, or should this issue be closed?
