RE: [docbook] w3.org won't serve DTD imbedded in Docbook generated output - but only to IE

["Grosso, Paul" <pgrosso@ptc.com>]

This has nothing to do with docbook.

Send email to webmaster@w3.org for something like this.

But your application probably shouldn't be trying to
retrieve a resource at that URL.  If everyone always
hit the W3C server every time they did anything with
XHTML it would be a disaster, and most likely what
you are seeing is the result of some code put in by
the W3C webmaster to prevent just this.
