That's not an *out-of-line* declaration. It is inline and intrusive for
many of the same reasons namespaces are intrusive. Archforms can be
moved out-of-line into #FIXED attributes in a DTD but that requires the
existence of a DTD which is not realistic in the modern world of XML
where people may want to use RELAX or W3C XML Schema.
