A bit more research later, I could not find authoritative info on whether libxml2 does, but as far as OpenSP is concerned, the news are not good: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1748536&group_id=2115&atid=352115 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=353220 This unfortunately makes the idea of using caching proxies instead of catalogs/entity resolvers moot. The (thin, I admit) hope is that adding proxy support seems to be on a possible roadmap - at least according to this 2003 thread: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=1041881661.1314.8.camel%40kerberos So maybe if someone wants to give it a shot... In the meantime, the validator release is still scheduled for Friday, but without proxy support. -- olivier
