Yes, but this fails if a 'local' DTD is referenced within the XML file
(both are in the JAR). Before canonicalization this worked without
problems. Now I would need to write a special entity resolver which is
hard to do with external libraries.

Since working with JAR archives is quite common in Java and placing
properties within these archives as XML too, it would be helpful if
jar 'URIs' would get a special treatment.

Even the RFC 3986 states in section 1.2.3:
For some URI schemes, the visible hierarchy is limited to the scheme
itself: everything after the scheme component delimiter (":") is
considered opaque to URI processing


Kind regards,

Timo
