Learning to read DTDs is an excellent idea. You can't really understand the
HTML standard without understanding the DTD because much of it is described
ONLY in the DTD.

Although a full study would take some time, understanding the DTD features
used in SGML can be done fairly simply. Here's a good URL:

http://www.uic.edu/orgs/tei/p3/doc/p3sg.doc (it's a text file)

At one point, Microstar (www.microstar.com) had a free product for
visualizing DTDs called Near and Far Lite, but it seems to have ceased to
exist in a product reorganization shuffle.
