Mozilla does not load external DTDs (Mozilla does not have a validating parser
so it is not required to do this) except in special cases (see
http://www.mozilla.org/newlayout/xml/#dtd for more details).

This bug is a dupe of some other, older bug. Anyone find it please mark this dupe.

But, .... the same problem as with bug 226786. MSIE can do this. And again
J2EE the latest specification is unreadable in Mozilla but readable in IE.

Do we want this???????????????

Yes, we want it. But we'd need someone to find the time to implement this
feature in Mozilla, which according to our current thinking is not too easy in
the Mozilla architecture (or this would have been implemented years ago).

Found the dupe, marking as such.
