You know what tweaking DTDs involve and imply, whereas I suspect most of the people using proprietary markup: - don't know (and don't really want to know) how to extend a DTD - don't know what are the benefits and risks of doing so. I am not here to dictate what you should say, and I think you, as well as all the regulars on this list, are providing a fantastic help to everyone coming here for help, but if I may suggest something, I think it's better to teach people a bit of CSS to replace their proprietary markup than explain about extending DTDs for the purpose of getting a green validation banner...
