In principle, yes. This depends on the DTD. Normally,
parse_wfdocument_entity creates a DTD that does not allow validatation,
but with ~transform_dtd you can modify it, or replace it by a different
one.

Of course, ~transform_dtd was not invented for these manipulations. The
intention is to have a hook to add further entities.
