/ "Smith, Jonathan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> was heard to say:
| If I have validation does my program need internet access?

In order to perform validation, the parser must retrieve the DTD.  If
retrieving the DTD requires internet access, then validation requires
internet access. Note, however, that retrieving the DTD may not
require internet access even if it has a http: URI. It is possible
that the parser may have an entityResolver which finds a local copy or
that some other layer may have a cache.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
