Sure, pretty possible. In fact, vortex dtd module doesn't expose how the
DTD file was found (from a file or an inline DTD declared inside the
module). 

Maybe a patch providing a way to configure such behaviour at
configuration/compilation time will satisfy both approach. Would you
like to take on this?

It clarifies to you the process, you can always get back on that design
(everybody have a bad day ;-) and makes it easy to transfer this
knowledge to other people (for the example on this list and the beepcore
list [1]).

Uhmmn. This is too much broad and general question. Maybe, you can give
more details about your application context and elements you are
concerned on, to give a more accurate answer ¿?
