xml - What is DTD exactly?

What is the significance of DTD exactly, and why are type definitions are so important?

Think of it as being a bit like a schema for a database - we're used to the idea that in normal relational databases you can only use columns which have already been declared, and you have to insert the right kind of data in them. Well, a DTD does roughly the same kind of thing for XML documents.
