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.
