I was surprised by your "typo" argument, but experiments show (to my 
surprise) that one can indeed get that same warning message and nothing 
else for specifying a non-existent DTD.  Therefore my suggestion needs 
to be amended.  I would suggest that specifying a non-existent DTD 
result in a different message, one that says so.  In the case of a 
custom, but existent, DTD, that's where I'm suggesting that message be 
suppressed.
