Perhaps if I invert my question, the goal will be more clear.

I don't have a DTD yet want to constrain input to valid XML documents.
Why can't I say "this is a valid XML document" without requiring everyone
to have access to the DTD?  Why can't I uniqueness of ID be determined
out of band, such as by schema?

Does that help?
