But if a proprietary DTD refer to the "embed" or >"applet" object, how we can conform this with the checkpoint 11.2 for WCAG >1.0 (Avoid deprecated features of W3C technologies) ? One approach would be to change the WCAG 1.0 requirement for preferring W3C specifications into a requirement that specifications used conform (or are the most conformant available in the area) to the XML Accessibility Guidelines (XAG - which can be applied to non XML languages as well). This couldn't be a normative requirement at the moment because XAG isn't a Recommendation nor a chartered deliverable, but may be worth considering coordintion to see if that is a feasible goal.
