Peter Murray-Rust scripsit:

> 	- tool threw a fatal error because <!DOCTYPE was missing

The XML Rec does not forbid a parser to treat validation errors as fatal.

> 	- REC-xml and DOM specify DTD but spec.dtd is not mounted

Non-validating parsers that read DTDs are entitled to get upset
if the DTD cannot be read.

Again, that behvaior is not forbidden.
