Yes, fine for windows, but an Oasis catalog app seems not to recognise it?
http://www.w3.org/TR/xml11/#NT-SystemLiteral  seems to indicate it isn't valid?

Hence, without modifying the xml file, I can't use a catalog on it?
Is that a fair conclusion?

Can I say that "\\lrctso.lawreform.ie\lrcdtd\Legislation.DTD"
