In article <420AA3ED.3060808@zenucom.com> you write:
><!DOCTYPE xml [

Well that's illegal for a start: you can't use element or attribute
names starting "xml".

But this:

><!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">

suggests another problem.  Where's that coming from?  Is the CGI script
returning an HTML document?  If so, that's no good, because (a) entities
other than the document mustn't have a DOCTYPE declaration and (b) HTML
is not XML!
