> W3C gets an immense amount of DTD traffic with user-agent often only identifying
> itself as Python or Java.  
> http://www.w3.org/blog/systeam/2008/02/08/w3c_s_excessive_dtd_traffic
> In a number of cases we have heard back from people affected by our automated
> blocking indicating they are running Xalan and/or Xerces doing such things as
> validating XML or doing XSL transforms.  We have directed some we have been in
> correspondence with to your catalog instructions.
> http://xerces.apache.org/xerces2-j/faq-xcatalogs.html
> The vast majority of Xalan/Xerces installations most likely do not implement
> catalogs nor caching of external DTDs and other schemata. It would seem the
> resolver does not care about HTTP response codes nor caching directives.
> http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt
> Better than a default catalog would be a caching XML Catalog resolver as I
> understand is part of Glassfish
> http://norman.walsh.name/2007/09/07/treadLightly
> There are other Java libraries contributing to this traffic as well. Xalan and
> Xerces are widely used, important libraries.  Your assistance in reducing this
> excessive traffic to W3C and others hosting standards schemata would be greatly
> appreciated.
