Well, you wouldn't necessarily use a DTD, but an XML Schema could be referenced. The schema could serve as rudimentary documentation of the interface with your web service. If other development teams within your company wanted to implement your service, all you would have to do is distribute the schema which would define request and response formats from your service.
