Another way to raid Jon's oven

Here's another way to get at Jon's Sun data; create a little XML
file like so:

----------------------
<!XML version='1.0'?>
<!doctype tester SYSTEM "we-don-need-no-steenking.dtd"
[ 
 <!entity SunURL SYSTEM 'http://docs.sun.com/ab2/alluser/ADVOSUG/@xmlToc'>
]>
<tester>
 &SunURL;
</tester>
-----------------------

Then run it through Lark, after doing a

 lark.processExternalEntities(true);

Assuming you've got an Internet connection, Lark will go get it,
cheerfully ignoring extensions and mime types and so on; figuring out how 
to make Lark copy it to output is left as an exercise for the user.
