[thanks for the fixed URL]

This is not a problem with RDDL, but an issue with the fact that Unicorn does
not proxy authentication in the same way that the Markup Validator does. 

Try the document in http://validator.w3.org/ and it will (not) validate.

Unicorn should either proxy authentication to and from the user, or at least
provide a better error message.
