But it doesn't fail but silently continues processing using 
"../eAIP-xhtml-m12n-dtd/eaip.dtd" as a path relative to the
directory xmllint.exe resides in. 

And, without starting a name vs. resource vs. location philosphical thread 
here, "relative URIs are relative to the location of the resource within
which the entitity declaration occurs" has room for some speculation.

Even when the parameter given to xmllint for retrieving the XML file
isn't a valid URI, the location of that file can be expressed as a valid URI, 
which then can be used to evaluate the relative URI.

It seems to be the definition of lt in:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-modularization/dtd_module_defs.html#a_module_XHTML_Special_Characters

See Benoit's post for the error messages he got from libxml2:
