Just for clarification, using localization DTDs as DOCTYPEs is not 
really the best thing since sliced bread, though it works in Mozilla.

'Real' editors like for example the eclipse wst get confused if the 
DOCTYPE DTD doesn't actually say anything about allowed elements and 
attributes. Thus, the syntax allowing more than one DTD has it's benefit 
even if there's just one DTD to include.
