Actually, no, the DTD only states that the length is CDATA, which has no
constraint for units or any such things. 

> <!ENTITY % Length "CDATA">

This is only a comments... And therefore not something a DTD-aware parser can
enforce.

Enforcing such constraints would be the job for a full conformance checker, not
a "mere" validator.

Closing as "not a bug" for this particular tool, although obviously the need
for something beyond validation is known.
