DTD writer produces fully qualified names only if the metamodel does not
contain namespace definitions. This is stated in the specification. For
example, DTD related to MOF metamodel available at omg contains namespace
prefixed names only as well.
You are right that such a DTD cannot be used to validate XMI 1.0 - we can
consider to add some optional parameter forcing DTD writer to produce both
types of names.
