I said that I believed that a relative path in a file: URL
was invalid. My command line showed that Windows would not
launch the file with the attempted relative path
file:///./testme.xml, but it worked when I specified the
absolute path
file:///c:/temp/testme/testme.xml.


By now I amsure that you have seen that Danniel also says
that relative paths are illegal, although that does not 
tell you why xmllint accepts it but your program does not.
