Mike, I agree that putting ATTLIST declarations in the internal subset is not an ideal solution but not for the reasons you state. I guess it's fine for technologies such as SOAP to create a sub-set or profile of XML that they accept, but this can't be taken as a general statement about what is good or bad in XML. DTDs and the internal subset won't be deprecated until the xml recommendation says they are - which I hope will be never (I quite like 'em! ~ they serve a very useful purpose in document authoring).
