I know Xerces-C++ has robust DTD handling code with an
in-memory grammar model which I believe you can navigate.

Again, Xerces-C++ supports this. Or you can use our
libxsd-frontend[1] which is a compiler frontend for XML Schema.
It provides the XML Schema semantic graph as well as the
traversal mechanism. We use it in the implementation of
our XML Schema to C++ compiler[2].
