Perhaps the url didn't return a 404 last week?  If you hit the w3.org
site too often too quickly you get blocked for a while...

The DTD is always fetched for entity resolution and defaulted values,
there is no way to turn that off.  Your 2 options are basically to
store a local copy (using a catalog or EntityResolver) or provide your
own EntityResolver (and mayne DTDResolver in this case) to intercept
the calls and return your own values...
