I think I agree with you.  I don't have strong feelings on the matter, other than if a standard workflow for determination exists, that I might as well use it.  The context is the DTD describing the XML format for a dataset.  I'm tempted to stick it in ../package/inst/dtd, but was wondering how others have dealt with it.  I sent the question here, since the number of package developers using R XML outside of this particular mailing list seems small.
