Folks,

1) I run the following URL through JTidy using setXMLOut(true):

	http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=java.sun.com


2) I then try running the resulting document through the JAXP SAX parser,
and get the following exception:


** Parsing error, line 31, uri http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd
   Next character must be ">" terminating <!ENTITY ...> declaration
"HTML.Version".

Is there an error in the http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd DTD?
Something seems fishy here... =)

Any ideas?
