That is a XOM error message. I suspect it's having trouble resolving a relative URL. Note that this has nothing to do with namespaces. It simply needs to load a DTD or piece thereof from a URL, and the URL isn't giving it enough information to do so. Or at least I think that's what's happening. I'm still digging.

Perhaps I should have been clearer - this example was designed to fail because there is no DTD at that address - and it behaves correctly. The other two examples reference existing DTDs on the W3C and do not throw this message. Of those other DTDs, one seems to work OK and the other shows the problem.
