That's because it's tried to fetch an external entity - your DTD. Unless you
tell it otherwise, it will go and fetch the DTD.

You're telling it not to validate, but it will still fetch the DTD so that
it can resolve entities. If you don't want any network activity on DTDs then
you will have to register an external entity loader function that rejects
them. In xsltproc this is the --nonet option and the
xmlNoNetExternalEntityLoader() function is the one you should be looking at
to do this.
