The question's off-topic for XSL-List, but the short answer is that DTDs 
are (with trivial exceptions) datatype-blind: you can't "validate as [fill 
in datatype here]" anything with a DTD. You might want to take a look at 
XSchema, which will replace/enhance DTDs (including datatype support) using 
XML syntax... and then, of course, ask further questions on XML-L or 
XML-DEV. :)
