I have been using the XML capabilities recently, and I have not yet
found a way to validate an XML type using a DTD. I believe you can
validate against an XML Schema document though (these are the successor
to DTD's and are quite a bit more powerful). I am not sure if you can
put the schema in a file, or if it has to be on a URL. The XML
Developers Guide tells you how to do this (in the section it describes
the XMLTYPE api).
