There will be no DTD for SVG 1.2 but that doesn't prevent you from using
a DOCTYPE to declare entities though -- so long as you do it without
pointing to an external subset (usually where the complete DTD is,
pointed to by the IRI you see in the DOCTYPE) and only have an internal
subset (what's defined inside the DOCTYPE, local to the document). Not
all good DOCTYPEs are dead DOCTYPEs, some of them look like that:
<!DOCTYPE svg [
<!ENTITY ...>
]>
And that's it. Basically all you have to do is drop the public and
system IDs.
