        You need HTML.dtd on that URL (there's apparently no index file
in that subdirectory).  The "W3C HTML Draft" link in the online 'h'elp
leads you the W3C HTML cover page with a link to that DTD.

        Yes, that was a bad consequence of the way the W3C was structured
with the relocation from CERN to MIT.  Though at a unversity, it is not
structured as a department, it's "director" and key staff are not "faculty",
and it is dependent on the fees from it's member vendors for it's existence
and functioning.
