I believe that's correct. I think the difference of opinion between
Thomas and me is that Thomas thinks that it is allowable for the UA to
apply the DTD (for #FIXED attributes) to SVG documents even when they
don't have a DOCTYPE declaration, since the DTD is normative in the
spec, whereas I think the DTD should apply only when it is explicitly
referenced.
