Even though DTDs are not namespace aware, you can define namespaces in the DTD as regular attributes.
For example (XML in a Nutshell #66), this ATTLIST declaration fixes the default namespace of all svg elements as http://www.w3.org/2000:
<!ATTLIST svg xmlns CDATA #FIXED "http://www.w3.org/2000">
This allows you to omit xmlns attributes from all your svg elements.
A document does not need to be valid to take advantage of this omission. All that's required is that the parser read the DTD. All parsers read the internal DTD subset and process any ATTLIST declarations they find there.
Cheers,
Dan
