What is throwing me here is that XXE produced the file ... and to figure out what it does conform to and above all how to fix it. What was done with "paste reference" is now mystery. Is it a reasonable assertion, as I think it may be, that heretofore XXE was basically making a (correct) guess in the absence of Doctype info that, now that it is present, points to stale DTD's? Perhaps said files had existed for quite some time, heretofore unused. That theory, which implies "no bug" (as we already know must be the case) sounds most plausible. I shall pursue it, and report.
Thanks for your prompt and continued help!
