html tags in xml elements

Hi,

Sorry if this is not the right forum. I'm new to xsl/xml,
and I'd like to have an element in my DTD that allows for
html tags in it like:

<Status>
	<Code>3030</Code>
	<Description>This is an <b>error</b> </Description>
</Status>

I'm at a loss here what to do. Should I use xhtml, and if so,
how to specify that in the DTD?

If I don't use xhtml, do I have to subset the set of html tags
and redefine them in my DTD?

thanx,
alice
