While this is true for most people, I have to disagree: they are extremely useful for validating parsers. The w3c web site receives tons of repeated requests for DTDs, from tools made by people who don't understand the power of cataloguing via public identifiers. As makers of technologies allowing such cataloguing, I would argue it is our duty to do it right. -- olivier
