ok, my mail did not made it to the mailing list.

Well, if you enable debugging, you get those errors from libxml and they
show that libxml is choking on the first use of any SYSTEM entity.

Even though the above error does not seem to have any effect on the
html generation process, it is not acceptable to ship production code
with errors which show up like this. We have at least to understand
where those errors come from, why, and then we can decide to forget 
them if they are really harmless. 

I was a little tired when I wrote this mail about entities being 
broken: "they work but are broken".
