Thanks for notifying.  I'll fix the documentation.

    <!ELEMENT  list  (item)+ >

or

    <!ELEMENT  list  (item+) >

will do the trick.  The XML declaration within the DTD does not seem to
do any harm; nsgmls simply ignores it, but xmllint makes use of it, in
case there is an entity definition as follows:

<!ENTITY salut     "Grüß Gott"                              >

Using SGML, encodings in the DTD and the document instance must be the
same (I guess), XML seems to allow mixed encodings like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<!--                    the  DTD         -->
<!--                      ...            -->
<!ENTITY salut     "Grüß Gott"                              >
<!--                      ...            -->

The docuemnt:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE book SYSTEM "tdtd.dtd">
<book>
 <para>&salut;</para>
</book>
