I think that all tools are using DTD in dbxml directory because
manual.xml starts with rather strange DOCTYPE:

<!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//Norman Walsh//DTD DocBk XML V1.7//EN"
          "./dbxml/docbookx.dtd" [

FPI "-//Norman Walsh//DTD DocBk XML V1.7//EN" is referring to early
Norm's play with transfering DocBook DTD from SGML to XML. Official FPI
for DocBook XML DTD is

        -//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN

This should be changed. I don't expect that anyone would have earlier
mentioned FPI in his catalog, so customizing DTD in dbxml directory
shouldn't intact any processing tool. 

And please remember, I'm not suggesting you to customize nor not
customize DTD. I just want to tell you, that customizing DTD doesn't
bring as many troubles as you may think. 

BTW: From the lawyer's perspective of view, we are not using DocBook
because currently used FPI is broken and doesn't associate with only
official DocBook from OASIS. ;))
