No, the DTD can't express the constraint. But consider: "Request particular property values, by naming the properties desired within the 'prop' element (the ordering of properties in here MAY be ignored by the server)," -- <http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/rfc4918.html#rfc.section.9.1> and "Contains properties related to a resource." -- <http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/rfc4918.html#rfc.section.14.18> I'm pretty sure that there's code out there that will fail if <prop> is empty.
