Sorry, I forgot to answer this. xmllint tests on well-formedness by
default. With --valid it further tests, that it is valid against a DTD.

However, xmlto performs:

xmllint --noout --xinclude --postvalid ...

(forget about the --xinclude switch) and this fails in this case. I
found this statement by the upstream author of xsltproc:

http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xml/2004-December/msg00062.html

I will add the --noent switch in xmltos xmllint call to resolve this
issue.
