msxml3 (as run by XML Cooktop) does this - it seems that msxml is run by
default in a validating mode - if it sees a DOCTYPE at all, it apparently
requires a complete DTD.  Within the tool, you have no way to change the
default.  Depending on how Rupa is running the processor, he may be able to
change the behavior.
