Sandra, Another point, which I'm surprised hasn't been mentioned, is when type information is needed. For example if you are using ID/IDREF attributes within your documents it is very possible that you will *need* a DTD to identify which attributes are indeed ID attributes. This may be less of an issue for in-house code-- but if you are using a public XSLT engine it can become problematic quickly.
