        I've been looking around xmlWriter's DTD part and it looks
a little obscure :) can you provide me a sample code? My tentatives
wasn't so successful.
        But let's go through some ideas: DTD internal declarations
could be stored in a xmlLink list which points to xmlChar buffers.
Each buffer could be an element, attribute list or entities (internal
and external). So, should be provided some functions like:

xmlTextWriterAddDTDElement(xmlTextWriterPtr, xmlChar *element, xmlChar 
*contentmodel);
xmlTextWriterAddDTDAttr(xmlTextWriterPtr, xmlChar *element, xmlChar 
*attribute, xmlChar *decl);
xmlTextWriterAddDTDIntEntity(xmlTextWriterPtr, xmlChar *entity, xmlChar 
*content);
xmlTextWriterAddDTDExtEntity(xmlTextWriterPtr, xmlChar *entity, xmlChar 
*uri);

And when calling xmlTextWriterEndDTD(), all declaration buffers should
be serialized. Tell me fellings :)

        These changes was applied? If not, can you provide me a patch?
