Well, any non-validating parser is free to do that today.  (It's not quite
clear to me from the XML Rec whether a validating parser is compelled
to actually read an external DTD subset, or whether it may simply assume
what it contains.)

The downside is that some non-validating parsers, those that do not read
the external subset, will reject the document as not well-formed.
