If new tags are added, the DTD would need to be updated, however the
document can reference the DTD used, so it can be backward compatible.
For stuff that needs to be very flexible, one can use very generic
tags like this:
<GENERICTAG>
  <ATTRIBUTE>SOME_ATTRIBUTE</ATTRIBUTE>
  <VALUE>SOME_VALUE</VALUE>
</GENERICTAG>

Keep in mind that I am not up to speed on libxml, but did work with
SGML a lot a few years back and work on EDI today (in which one faces
many similar issues), so I may be some way off.
