New DTD for Meta Tag Markup Language

I want to introduce my concept for a new DTD that serves as an XML-based
markup language called Meta Tag Markup Language (or "MTML"). The basic
premise is to use HTML-based SEO meta tags schema in an
XML file/environment. I am hoping this could help reduce the workload and
file size of HTML and/or other index pages.

This is the basic mtml.dtd schema:

<!DOCTYPE document [
  <!ELEMENT document (title, description, robots, author?, copyright?,
viewport?, keywords?)>
  <!ELEMENT title (#PCDATA)>
  <!ELEMENT description (#PCDATA)>
  <!ELEMENT robots (#PCDATA)>
  <!ELEMENT author (#PCDATA)>
  <!ELEMENT copyright (#PCDATA)>
  <!ELEMENT viewport (#PCDATA)>
  <!ELEMENT keywords (#PCDATA)>
]>

And this is an example of a placeholder file called meta-tags.xml (can be
renamed if you wish):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<document>
  <title>This is the title of the page</title>
  <description>This is a brief description of the page</description>
  <robots>index</robots>
  <author>This is the name of the author</author>
  <copyright>This is the name of the copyright holder</copyright>
  <viewport content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
  <keywords>This is a list of keywords for the page</keywords>
</document>

May I get some thoughts on the effectiveness of such a markup language and
whether or not it would improve SEO efforts? Any way to make MTML better?

The license given to MTML is CC0 1.0 Universal and documentation can be
