The original web.xml references a DTD at
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_2.dtd.

Does anyone know how to detain the XSLT processor from looking
up the DTD? Is it possible to use a non-validating parser?
I guess, by default Xalan + Xerces are used. But I didn't find
any configuration options for the Ant XSLT task.
