Ok, so the problem you have is how to set the DTD reference after creating
the root Element. There isn't currently an API to do that, so you have to
call the parser to create the right setting in the first place.

I wouldn't mind making the public_id and system_url properties in
ElementTree.docinfo (DocInfo class) writable. Patches appreciated.
