I believe that this DTD attribute for "e-dtype", or "element data type", is a convention used by Extensibility in their XML-Authority (XA) schema editor. A few months ago, I saw a white paper (and/or W3C note) on Extensibility's site recommending this approach as a way to store more declaration information in DTDs. Because DTDs do not provide a way to declare the type of PCDATA contents, there in no way to *validate* that the TAXCOUNTRYPROOFRECEIVED element contains a boolean value. This declaration is just a hint to tools, like XA, about the intended type.
