  Okay I checked the patch, it looks good. I had to update it because
it didn't applied cleanly. Once updated validating a test file don't
raise the problem to pointed out, but there is still the 4 warnings about
the unavailable 4 entities
  file://localhost/C%3A/www.web3D.org/TaskGroups/x3d/translation/xxxx

  Itm passes the regression tests and one can still validate against
Docbook DTD which makes heavy use of conditional section so this really
looks solid, thanks for the patch and the work spent finding this out.
I will commit it and it will be in next version,

   thanks,

Daniel

PS: Web3D DTD makes a strange use of Public identifiers:
  <!ENTITY % GeoVrmlDTD PUBLIC
   "http://www.web3D.org/TaskGroups/x3d/translation/GeoVrml.dtd"
   "file://localhost/C:/www.web3D.org/TaskGroups/x3d/translation/GeoVrml.dtd">
   looks weid to me, at least they should not use the file:// URL in the
   published, online version.
