  In that case, yes it does. They make use of entities defined
in the DTD.

  DocBook stylesheets also use unparsed-entity-uri() and that
requires knowledge of the attribute type defined only in the DTD.

  That's true. But the problem is usually to maintain cross
references over the whole set of document like indexes. Currently
unless designing some sort of incremental database, it's impossible
to do that directly with XSLT without requiring to process the 
whole set at each build.
