Once upon a time Marc Salomon shaped the electrons to say...

Validators are SGML based and need a DTD to work. Validator's are vital to
good code.
Some search engines use SGML to weight things.
Some HTML editors have a core of SGML technology for use in authoring and
can be 'upgraded' with a new DTD.
And there are browsers than use SGML parsers as their core code.
SGML use definitely does not round to 0.
