AFAIK, it is as Christian said: it would be bulky. After reading Norman 
Walsh's Docbook book(about DTDs), it appears to me possible to allow elements 
to be in arbitrary order by using the ampersand connector -- but that only 
works for SGML, not XML. If the whole point of doing validation is to ensure 
the files are not buggy, why not then do it as good as possible(Schemas are 
more exact than DTDs)?
