Well technically the other Xml file is a schema, not a dtd. It is however not any standard schema that I can determine, though it is very close to the XDR specification. I love how they indicate namespaces, its almost comical in that they almost, but not quite grasped how namespaces should work (not that I am an expert by anymeans).

Then again I am probably being too harsh, they probably started sidl before even preliminary specifications on Schema 1.0 was released. Wierd how it almost matches XDR though?

EQ definatly does not enforce the entire Xml specification as put forth by the w3c. They allow all kinds of things that a strict xml parser would not, like not requiring the <?xml 1.0 ?> tag at the beginning, etc.
