/**
 * MODULE NOTES:
 * @update  gess 7/20/98
 * 
 * This interface defines standard interface for DTD's. Note that this isn't HTML specific.
 * DTD's have several primary functions within the parser system:
 *		1) To coordinate the consumption of an input stream via the parser
 *		2) To serve as proxy to represent the containment rules of the underlying document
 *		3) To offer autodetection services to the parser (mainly for doc conversion)
 *
