My (and perhaps other's) confusion is apparent from the subject - we were assuming that
by handing a DTD and an instance to what was believed to be a validating application
should result in the validation taking place. Although it appears that Microsoft's
handling is correct, I find the reputed requirement that the provider must insert
JavaScript code (or a reference to a *.js file) in every document to be validated as
detrimental to the openness of XML.
