Sure. Please ensure that you use a Public Identifier and
configure our schema catalog. Just follow some other
examples and we do have some docs somewhere.

Can we re-distribute that DTD? (No time to look sorry,
going away now for weekend. Perhaps legal-discuss archives.)
I sure hope so, we don't want to hit their server for
every parse of an xml instance.

[OT a bit] By the way, did everyone see:
http://www.w3.org/blog/systeam/2008/02/08/w3c_s_excessive_dtd_traffic
"W3C Systeam's blog - W3C's Excessive DTD Traffic"

At Forrest we have been pretty good in this regard.
