Browsers do not need to download anything they already have in
a local cache. They could add the important DTDs here:

C:\temp :: dir "C:\Programme\Mozilla Firefox\res\dtd" /s /b
C:\Programme\Mozilla Firefox\res\dtd\mathml.dtd
C:\Programme\Mozilla Firefox\res\dtd\xhtml11.dtd

People just need to agree on what's important.
