Re: [xsl] Why does Chrome's XSL processor validate my XML files when processing them, and how can I make it stop doing that so that it processes them faster?

It can't ignore the DTD because it might define entities.

Are you producing XHTML with a DOCTYPE?  The W3C servers throttle the
spead at which they serve the HTML DTDs, because of high demand (at
times the load dwarfs e.g. having multiple stories on the front page of
slashdot).

Without seeing teh stylesheets or the input or the output it's
impossible to say.

Make sure you serve the files via a local Web server. Most Linux
systems include one, so tryputting he files in ~/public_html/ and going
to http://127.0.0.1/~wolfhart/ or whaever.
