adding new tags without error on DTD check

[Paul Tchistopolskii]

What if you have more than one document?

I think that DTD is reasonable only in situation when you have
more than one document. DTD is kind of grammar. I think that
having grammar for only one document is kind of hypotetic
situation... I can imagine some  system which is generating
xml documents and grammar for each document, but I can't
understand what should be the purpose of such a system...
