You need to set "OVERRIDE YES" in your SGML Declaration for that FPI;
you are prefering the System Identifier over the FPI.

s/HTML/html/;
The error message is misgiving.

It doesn't. The System Identifier, by definition, is system specific. It's
assumed to be meaningfull within the context of the application, but not
required to be universally resolvable.

It prefers to use a catalog and an Entity Manager to resolve the External
Subset for certain Public Identifiers, but will use the System Identifier
for those it doesn't know.
