and just check if a document is XML-ish and well-formed, no DTDs or
schemas and such stuff?

~
Fatal error at line 143
The entity "icirc" was referenced, but not declared.
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The entity "icirc" was referenced, but
not declared.

I would suggest either fixing the XML document, or turning off validation.
