Editing and validating are different issues.

Some sgml-forms will not work, when built upon use of dtd.
Please report that as a bug then.
Feel free to drop me a cc then.

As dtd are optional, no command should fail completely without.

Emacs calls an external programm for that. Should be able to play the 
results back.

AFAIS the work is basically done in line 1582 compile.el:

(start-file-process-shell-command (downcase mode-name)
                                                       outbuf command)

All you need to do is selecting the correct validation-command, when 
starting.
