Where "needed" means you could have used some other tactic but decided
not to. If you have gone to the lengths of creating a custom DTD, why
are you using a transitional DOCTYPE?

Which seems quite pointless. If the custom attributes are known, just
ignore those errors. Browsers do not use the DTD to validate the
documents they load - if they did, they'd be very much slower than
they are.
It is pointless to use XHTML on the web, use HTML 4.01 strict. You
might find the following enlightening:
