XML document stored in file has external DTD. When I load xml file and then save
it then DTD is not saved.

In instance, xml document has DTD:
<!DOCTYPE moduleprefs SYSTEM "chrome://dc-common/locale/js/prefs/prefs.dtd">

After saving xml document has DTD:
<!DOCTYPE >

Reproducible: Always

Example:

var loadurl="file:///c:/mymodule.xml";
var requestor=new XMLHttpRequest();
requestor.open("GET", loadurl, false);
requestor.send(null);
xmldoc=requestor.responseXML;

var saveurl="c:\\mymodule.xml";
var
file=Components.classes["@mozilla.org/file/local;1"].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsILocalFile);
file.initWithPath(saveurl);

var
ostream=Components.classes["@mozilla.org/network/file-output-stream;1"].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIFileOutputStream);
ostream.init(file, 0x02|0x20, 0777, null);

var serializer=new XMLSerializer();
serializer.serializeToStream(xmldoc, ostream, "utf-8");

Maybe this behaviour is defined by dom configuration (document.domConfig) but
domConfig is not implemented (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=226193).
