I've been thinking about that.... I don't think the best approach is to make N copies (in this case, N = 36) of the dtd and entities file. If we do that in the repository, they will diverge. It would be better to keep them in one place (like "common"), but have the validation script reference them there.
The best way to fix this is probably to use XML catalogs. It looks like the .dtd and sun-iso files are referenced via PUBLIC entities, so this should work.
