Makes you wonder doesn't it ;-)
The footprint requirements just don't appear allow it. There are more productions to process the DTD than the XML document, and that's before you have to deal with what you find there.
As always, we'd be happen to be proved wrong. Given a way to be fully compliant, within the limitations of the devices, we would use it. The EG spent quite some time looking for such a solution...
