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.
