Help needed with XML Node insert API

[Kumar (4)]

Hi All

I have to add elements to an existing XML Document which conforms to a DTD.

Is there an some API which throws an exception when I append a node to this document if it is not a valid location or element based on the DTD.

My DTD is very specific on sequence of elements.

Since I have to insert many elements it is not an option for me to insert all elements and at the end run validate on the document.

Thanks

I think the W3C DOM Level 3 which is currently being worked on attempts to provide such an API http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/CR-DOM-Level-3-Val-20030730/ I don't know whether there are any early implementations.
