Mean old Elliotte :-)

That's why they don't like it.
How you fix it?

Your choice.
1. Get rid of the DTD reference in your xml instance.
2. Copy the DTD from the given URL to your hard disk,
    then change the reference in the XML instance
3. Learn how to use xml catalogs[1] which
   basically tell xom that when he sees url X to go to file Y

http://www.dpawson.co.uk/docbook/catalogs.html might help you
understand the use with XSLT,
I haven't used one with XOM, perhaps Elliotte can tell you
how to 'redirect' the resolver to use your catalog.
