Had a first look. I think the attribution element must be
"(identifier*,location*)" instead? In general I'm not sure
how useful a DTD file will be, as we won't be able to express
100% XSPF here as it seems. We could go the same way as with
XSD before: offer the file for download but very clearly mark
and state that this is not "the truth". If we want to do that
the file needs some license info (CC-BY-SA/2.5 since you
mentioned the Relax NG schema as your original source).

Not sure if that is a good idea, at least not with this path.
We should put it on xspf.org in any case.
