Maybe for you. For me and many others, DTDs are very useful,
suitable for many real-life cases, and more legible than
schemas encoded in XML instance syntax.
(Although I'm probably going to switch to Relax-NG "unofficial
syntax" in the future; it has all of these advantages and more.)

Naturally, this is not going to work very well.
LR parsing is a lousy way to process tree-local
grammars.
