Thank you. That was the problem. I had been including sections from a
file that was itself included and had no DOCTYPE. Now I include the
same sections from a resolved version of the larger source document
which then includes the DOCTYPE. Xmllint resolves everything without
complaint.
I really appreciate the help you and others have sent my way.
