[Michael Kay <mike@sa...>]

First thing you need to understand is that this is nothing to do with Saxon.
It's all to do with the XML parser. For convenience, in simple cases, Saxon
hides the XML parser from you, but in the end XML parsing and XSLT
transformation are two separate operations and Saxon is only responsible for
the second one. Fetching DTDs is entirely the XML parser's responsibility,
and it's the XML parser that is trying to connect to http://www.daisy.org, not
Saxon.

If you don't want the XML parser to fetch the DTD from a remote site there
are only two things you can do:

(a) remove the DOCTYPE declaration from the instance document (which won't
work of course if it defines entities that are referenced in the document

(b) persuade the XML parser to use a local copy instead, by use of an
EntityResolver and/or a catalog.

Both of these mean taking a little bit more control of the XML parsing
yourself rather than leaving it all to Saxon.
