I would recommend accompanying any suggestion to "roll one's own" custom DTD with a strong warning that while it may help "validate", it is a venture into the realm of nonstandard, nevertheless. Custom DTDs are fun and fine if used by people who know what they're doing, but in the hands of the everyday web author, it does more harm than good to the quality and iteroperability of the Web.
