The W3C server is not having a problem, but it is indeed refusing to serve the DTD.

The W3C server has a throttle for IP address which repeatedly request the same DTD or schema instead of using a catalog or cache.

Some broken applications request the same DTD thousands or millions of times a day, every day.

I suggest that you set XEP to use an OASIS catalog for frequently-used DTDs and schemas. Actually that should be the default setting of XEP, users should not have to configure it.
