The thing is that Xerces is only considering XML DTDs, while HTML 4.x
(and previous versions) is based on SGML DTDs, which have more options
and a slightly different syntax.

In general, this explains much of the errors reported... While I think
it would be fine not to report the detailed errors for non-XML DTDs, I
think we ought not to say that a page in invalid when it is, and I'm not
clear how to do that barring including an SGML-validator... (or asking
results from the W3C Markup Validator, but which require an online
presence).
