[jdev] xml processing question

[Joe Hildebrand]

Sorry, I should have looked that up, and included it in my response.   
We have a well-defined error for that:

<stream:error>
   <invalid-xml xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-streams'/>
   <text xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-streams' xml:lang='en-us'>
      DTDs are not supported on this stream.
   </text>
</stream:error>

or some such.  See RFC 3920, section 4.7.3.
