We've had problems doing this esp in java.

Declarations make an xml parser a couple of orders of magnitude
harder to write and at least a couple of orders of magnitude larger.
Given the diminishing value and use of DTDs, I don't see the win.

If you do need the features of DTDs, you can preprocess your document
on an external machine and pass the expanded DTD-less data to the
netconf server.
