Well, thank you everyone for your answers. I do agree that such a thing 
does not belong to the specs. Now the question is :
how to make the implementation of XSLT command-line programs to implement 
such an option. A petition, perhaps ? :-)

To every implementors that read this message :
Could you please implement in your command-line processor an option to 
specify the path to the DTD ? Thanks in advance...
