DITA architect Michael Priestley (a co-author of the 2001 paper you
cited) has more recently addressed the misconception that DITA is an
exchange format, not an authoring format
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dita-users/message/1081). My anecdotal
experience matches Michael's -- that about half of all
implementations use the DITA DTD "out of the box" for content
authoring.
This showed up in a conference plug recently and I revisited the link
that Alan provided to Michael Priestly's posting. Out of interest, I
looked at the post to which Michael had replied, and found it was a very
good email from Eliot Kimber - one of the long-term industry experts
going well back into the SGML days. His explanation is far better than
mine was, but echoed much of the same sentiment. If you're interested,
have a look at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dita-users/message/1080.
