The validator only validates succesfully against a DTD given by a system identifier if that system identifier is a fully qualified URI. The XML 1.0 recommendation explicitly provides for relative URIs for system identifiers (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#dt-sysid). If you point the validator at a page with an address like http://www.example.com/somePage.xhtml with a DOCTYPE declaration like this: <!DOCTYPE html SYSTEM "someDTD.dtd"> the validator complains that it can't find the dtd, even if the resource does in fact exist at http://www.example.com/someDTD.dtd.
