  Hi Vager,

 I did actually write only the very first version of the Gnumeric
XML I/O routines. I didn't made a DtD at that time (well I hadn't DtD
support in libxml then). 
 I think a lot of people reachable on the Gnumeric list have improved
and designed evolutions of the original version, I must admit I have lost
track of the changes in this format. I don't think there is a DtD, but
I hope the people in the gnumeric list will be able to answer your
question. It might be a good idea to join this list if you are interested
in compatibility at the format level:

send mail to: gnumeric-list-request gnome org and in the body of
your message put the word "subscribe".

  yours,
