We do have a blog post from 2008 about this https://www.w3.org/blog/systeam/2008/02/08/w3c_s_excessive_dtd_traffic/ > There are some catalog caching and resolution-redirection API's, > which I'll look into at some point. > Also - apparently there is no official XML schema for SVG - is that > correct? Correct. At one point we were seriously looking into doing a relaxNG schema for SVG, but the effort needed was considerable and interest in schemas seems to have declined in favour of much more complex validators. So we discontinued the effort. -- Best regards, Chris Lilley Technical Director, W3C Interaction Domain
