Unfortunately w3c frequently chooses not to serve their documents, i.e. there is w3c policy of rejecting requests when it is too much for their servers.

I think they almost always just delay for 30s before serving the DTD. If you *really* need it, you'll eventually get it.

But that shouldn't matter as that's what SGML/XML catalogues are for, and libxml2 has transparent support for them. For example, on a typical Debian system, if you have the w3c-sgml-lib package installed, it won't go near the W3C servers if you fetch the DTD.

But I'm not proposing to make fetching the DTD the default: rather I'm proposing to add an parser option so users can choose to have that behaviour if they need it. And I would add a corresponding --loaddtd option to rapper to enable it.
