Description Henry S. Thompson 2006-12-18 11:33:11 UTC 
The above document will soon be the XML Schema namespace document, it would be good if it passed!  It is valid.
Comment 1 Olivier Thereaux 2006-12-18 12:16:11 UTC 
I get a 404 on this URI...
Comment 2 Henry S. Thompson 2006-12-18 12:31:11 UTC 
Arghh.  Typo in URL.  Corrected.
Comment 3 Olivier Thereaux 2006-12-18 12:39:09 UTC 
[thanks for the fixed URL]

This is not a problem with RDDL, but an issue with the fact that Unicorn does not proxy authentication in the same way that the Markup Validator does. 

Try the document in http://validator.w3.org/ and it will (not) validate.

Unicorn should either proxy authentication to and from the user, or at least provide a better error message.

Unicorn now displays a nicer message, but still doesn't suuport HTTP auth
