Description

Apologies if I missed this in the documentation, but I couldn't find it anywhere, even when stepping through the code.

I would like to read and write DOCTYPEs, including their public ID and system ID. xml2js has the ability to at least write them with the syntax:

xml2js.Builder({
  doctype: {
    pubID: '-//Logiqx//DTD ROM Management Datafile//EN',
    sysID: 'http://www.logiqx.com/Dats/datafile.dtd',
});

Input

Here's some example XML from No-Intro:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE datafile PUBLIC "-//Logiqx//DTD ROM Management Datafile//EN" "http://www.logiqx.com/Dats/datafile.dtd">
<datafile>
	<header>

Honestly speaking, I have never thought about it. But it can be considered for future release.
