Wait a second. What is the bug here? The namespace URI does not resolve into DTD? It doesn't have to. It must be formally correct URI but it must not necessarily correspond to any page. Besides, only the Sodipodi namespace alludes to a DTD, Inkscape's does not, and we cannot add a DTD to sodipodi.sf.net even if we wanted to.
We may eventually provide a schema for the Inkscape/Sodipodi SVG extensions, but it is not top priority now, and it may not be a DTD (there are much more flexible and powerful schema languages than DTD).
I assume it's this latter thing that he's referring to. And yeah, we probably would rather go with an XML Schema over a DTD but either way like you say, it's something we should have.
Mental and I had talked about adding a DTD or XML Schema for Inkscape when setting the namespace. We decided to put it off, but IIRC we thought it'd be worth having some day. So if someone's interested in working on creating it, we should encourage it.
