Problem with ignoring system ID of Doctype

Ok, this is a XML question :
We have a lot of problems with the DOCTYPE call : it seems the system ID is mandatory (can someone confirm that ?). I know someone answered me about a catalog in XML, much like the library in SGML.


Is there a standard for a parser (we use Oracle) that make it ignore the DTD and use the public ID when the system ID is not good ? Is there a standard way not to specify any system ID ? We keep our XML in a DB, and don't want to store the system ID of the editor, as it is absolute.

Another question is : Is there a way to make a URL absolute to the server, but without the server address ?

Thanks you.
