I didn't realize you could do that.

The latter is more flexible if you want on-the-fly translations. With 
the DTD, it's not possible to translate on the fly, since the DTD is 
fixed-in -- the javascript code will never see it, nor the entities.

I think you can't theme stuff that is in a static section, though.
