The thing is that the behaviour is the same with --nonet or if the DTD
can't be loaded for any reason. In the latter case, you don't
implicitely ask to forget entities substitutions. Now the question is,
should xsltproc consider that as a fatal error ?
Also note that --nonet option might be used for "safety" (i.e. being 100%
sure network connection won't be used), while the DTD can be refered
locally by the url, or even refered by a url in the catalog.
