I have this idea too and applied it (see plugins/xslt). The thing is, I
made the XSLT process 2 pass, since it is much more convenient to have
an XML tree taylored for your use (e.g. classes definitions) than the
raw DIA XML format which has lot of useless info for generating source
files. So the DTD is used only for creating the first stylesheet, and,
'as far as I have done', it didn't need it anytime, but rather used a
sample file to understand the format.
