First; This question is off topic; this is XSL-List, not a forum for
general discussion of matters XML-ish.  Please take future questions
about XML (that are not also related to XSL) to a more appropriate forum.

Second: this is not an XML file, and XML tools will not validate it
against a DTD because it is NOT XML. (In SGML it is possible to 
change the markup delimiters; in XML it is not.) If you really want
to work with files like the one you describe I suggest looking 
into SGML tools. If you want to use the (much larger) set of XML
tools your data must be XML; which means that you must use
