Don't ask me -- I didn't create the XML backend. Ohh, Oops -- the dev who did is no longer with the project. Oh well, life sucks.
But to answer your questions: a) i dont think any of the devs understand xml well enough to implement DTD validations b) the code doesn't use DTDs at all -- all the parsers (and generators) are hand written c) none of the devs _care_ enough to worry about it Why XML if we can only use it in gnucash? Good question -- go ask the dev who created it. It doesn't even meet the original goal (full backwards and forwards compatibility) from when it was originally proposed.
