Isn't what XML Schema for (I mean datatype validation )?
I thought DTD were for document validation, but the datatype inside the
#CDATA was no use for that.
Thus they introduced XMLSchema for adding such validation. And XML Schema
'DTDs' are in XML conforming to a certain DTD (this one
http://www.w3.org/1999/05/06-xmlschema-1/structures.dtd I guess)

Feel free to correct me, as it is still quite new to me :)
