Oooh either way that's a bug. Thanks for reporting it.

The mathml2 ones didn't end in //XML as you say. I think the //XML got
added while merging things with the ISO 9573 sources, but the mathml3
dtd generation hasn't been updated, sorry. I'll update mathml3.dtd
unless someone speaks up and says that isn't the correct fix.
