It doesn't have to have any element or attribute declarations. (do call the file mathml.dtd then mozilla won't fetch it at all and will use the one in its cache) so all you need to do is extract a list of names from your database, then copy those lines from the file in Math/DTD/mathml2/xhtml-math11-f.dtd of the form <!ENTITY xxx "〸"> then you can still use &xxx; in the file but the DOCTYPE can use a SYSTEM id that points to a _much_ smaller file that is quicker to download.
