Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] xmllint validation of IDREF problem
Try adding the --noent option to xmllint. See this posting for an explanation of --postvalid from Daniel Veillard: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xml/2004-December/msg00062.html Adding --noent forces all external entities to be resolved, and seems to solve this problem.
