Peter, 
 
Thank you for your clear explanation. The problem that I am facing is, I have a 
desktop application which can render the svg file thru the use for Adobe SVG 
Viewer. But each time when I try to read this XML element (separately - element 
by element), it try to get Internet connection automatically. This has created 
an error in my application which has no Internet connection. So I think I will 
just deleted this element from my svg file. Will this creates any harm?

It is a DOCTYPE declaration.  Paraphrasing from SVG Unleashed, a document type 
definition defines the permitted structure of an SVG document, and, you may not 
need the DOCTYPE declaration if, for example, your browser recognizes an svg 
file by the file extension.  It also states that it is wiser to include the 
DOCTYPE declaration.

I know that you don't need it for svg files that are displayed in ASVG3 in IE.  
If you are using a validating editor (e.g., XMLSpy) you will definitely want to 
use the DOCTYPE.

I'd keep the DOCTYPE.
