That's probably about the best heuristic there is and would work most (although not all) the time, but there's nothing in the spec to warrant the claim that this is the intent of the spec, and there's certainly no requirement in the spec that a validating parser implement this. In any case I'm not sure it would be a good idea for a *browser* automatically to use such a heuristic. Given: <?xml verson="1.0" standalone="yes"?> <!DOCTYPE doc SYSTEM "doc.dtd"> <doc>...</doc> I don't want to wait for the browser to read "doc.dtd" before it displays the document to me.
