I think there were 3 reasons for that :
- some folks still prefer DTD as it is undoubtedly easier to read.
- validation performance, because DTDs are weaker, validating the XML
is faster.
- time to do it.
I don't think any of these reasons is good enough, we just need to
find the time/resources to do it.
