If I understand your problem correctly,
http://doctypechanger.sourceforge.net/ could help. From the web page:
"DoctypeChanger is a Java class that lets you add, modify or remove a
DOCTYPE declaration from a byte stream as it is fed into an XML parser."

> We have an application that exchanges XML with a customer's

> The customer's XML processor demands that the XML documents

> I would prefer that I do NOT include any <DOCTYPE > declarations,
