FWIW, in a completely unrelated project I've been starting today, the
presence of undetected bogus system ids (in some W3C documents) have
started to appear more problematic than I had experimented before; using
my XSLT processor (xsltproc) on documents where the System Id is
unresolvable made it fail in several occasions; would it be an option to
at least put a warning if the System ID is an HTTP URI
non-dereferenceable?
