I understand the request, Mark. I'm working to set up a trial resource as
we speak.
DITA schema resolution is unique in calling many files in the course of
assembling the specialization design pattern, which tends to load (nay,
flood) a network with requests. A production-scale schema server should
probably provide only fully-resolved single DTDs or Schemas for
Internet-based access. If the intent is to display DITA content directly
on the Web, fully pre-resolved DITA topics can eliminate DTD calls
altogether (as in the DITA Open Toolkit's dynamic Eclipse output option).
Authors who wish to have validating systems even in the event of network
outages should rely on local copies.

Thanks, Don. But what I (and Hussein, I think) are looking for is a URL
where the DTDs or XSDs actually reside and can be read by a parser.
These files could be used if DITA DTDs couldn't be found locally.
For example, the DocBook DTD can be found here:
http://www.docbook.org/xml/4.3/docbookx.dtd

The OASIS Schemas and DTDs are listed directly on the home page for the
Technical Committee at
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=dita . Look
for the heading "Committee Draft 1.0.1 of the DITA DTDs and Schemas "
for the latest materials with bug fixes.
