If you are trying to feed xmllint a URI containing a colon
character, all bets are off. See the following message:

  http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-apps/200412/msg00059.html

RFC 1630 says that colon characters are not allowed in URIs. So a
URI containing a colon is not an RFC-compliant URI. If you want to
use a colon in a URI and to have your processing tools behave as
expected, you must write it as %3A.

You can't really complain if a particular tool behaves in an
unexpected way when you ask it to do something with a
not-RFC-compliant URI.
