According to the XML spec, an XML document MUST begin with
(at least) the line above (<?xml version="1.0"?>). That line may
contain other attributes (eg. character set encoding), and may be
followed by the line that you suggest for specifying where to find
the relevant DTD (or other schema types).
ONLY after all that "setup" would you find the base element
tag - <abiword> in this case.
