If by process you mean validate then this applies to documents without a DTD as well since the element type declaration exists in the DTD. If you aren't talking about validation then I don't see why needing the schema is necessary for processing the document in some other manner. Or are you refering to documents that have both a DTD and a schema? Can you please clarify?
