I assume so and will move to: (unless the authors of that section say
otherwise):

<element name='RetrievalMethod'> 
  <complexType content='elementOnly'>
    <sequence minOccurs='1' maxOccurs='1'> 
      <element name='Location' type='uriReference' minOccurs='1'
maxOccurs='1'/> 
      <element name='Method' type='string' minOccurs='1' maxOccurs='1'/> 
      <element ref='ds:Type' minOccurs='1' maxOccurs='1'/> 
    </sequence>
  </complexType>
</element> 

<element name='Type'>
  <complexType content='mixed'>
    <any namespace='##any' minOccurs='1' maxOccurs='unbounded'/>
    <attribute name='Encoding' type='uriReference' use='optional'/>
  </complexType>
</element>

I will change the DTD to:

<!-- Key Information -->

<!ELEMENT KeyName	%Key.ANY; >
<!ELEMENT KeyValue	%Key.ANY; >
<!ELEMENT MgmtData	%Key.ANY; >
<!ELEMENT RetrievalMethod (Location, Method, Type) >
<!ELEMENT Location	%Key.ANY; >
<!ELEMENT Method	%Key.ANY; >
<!ELEMENT Type	%Key.ANY; >
<!ATTLIST Type	Encoding  CDATA   #IMPLIED>

Are you suggestion it be change to optional?

   <element name='Type'>
     <complexType content='mixed'>
       <any namespace='##other' minOccurs='0' maxOccurs='unbounded'/>
        ...

Fixed.
