I wish it was that easy.
Like I already pointed out, writing a DTD is a "total pain in the
ass"(tm) if you have more than a single namespace in your document,
which, in is almost _always_ the case in what I've been doing for the
last 12 months.
So, please, let's make DTDs slowly fade out of the XML scene...
