Yes, the XML parser will read the DTD - typically from a cache in the
nearest proxy server.
You can avoid this by using a catalog resolver to redirect the reference to
a local copy.

Subject: [xsl] DTD validation with SVG graphics transformations
I am currently using Saxon to perform transformations of SVG
graphics. All of the graphics contain a DOCTYPE reference to
the W3C DTD: <!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd";>
A question has come up in our technical review team regarding
the impact of this reference. Is the DTD some how
internalized in the transformation tools in general and Saxon
in particular or should we be establishing a local copy of
the DTD with the necessary DNS pointers and such? The trigger
for our concern was the following error message coming from a
Saxon transformation:
java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 503 for URL:
http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg-shape.mod
Thanks in advance for any insight into what is really
happening in the background. Are we reading a DTD and if so,
from where?
Steve
