Re: XHTML doctype and namespace lookups overwhelm w3.org servers?

No, it's because the MS XML parser couldn't download the DTD.  Connect to
the internet and there is no problem.

You can also download the DTD to a local directory and use that in the
SYSTEM identifier of the DTD and all will be well.
The MS parser will validate XML against a (XML style) DTD and if the file is
XHTML then the file is XML.
People tend to forget that! :-)

The default display for *.xml is the tree based on the OS default XSLT
transform.
The default display for *.htm (and *.html) is the HTML rendering from the
tags.
The default display for *.txt is notepad i.e. as if the file were wrapped in
<pre> tags.

Anyway, the point is, the OS and IE believe what you tell it.  Just calling
a JPEG a text document does not make it so.
