I flippantly tried downloading some XHTML DTDs at http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/xhtml1.tgz and copying the DTDs themselves into the OpenSP-1.5.2, but that didn't work on first try. I'll give it another shot over the weekend, but maybe this is indeed part of the problem... I've since found that I apparently failed to RTFM a step in the manual where it mentioned to shove this sgml-lib folder into the htdocs of the validator. Downloading the DTD tgz as linked above, shoving into it's place in validator/htdocs/sgml-lib, and then setting the /etc/w3c/validator.conf SGML lib as that path ($Base/htdocs/sgml-lib) now works like a charm. Thanks all for the pointers, and hopefully let this email thread serve as a lesson to those following in my footsteps. cheers, ~ john
