No. No browser reads the DTD for HTML. IE doesn't, Firefox doesn't,
Opera doesn't, Safari doesn't, Lynx doesn't.

Not unless you're talking about XML documents served as XML in which
case some browsers will fetch the DTD under some circumstances. But
that's irrelevant for HTML and for XHTML served as HTML.
Don't confuse the browsers' use of the doctype as a magic code to
switch rendering modes with anything to do with actually fetching and
reading the DTD referenced by the doctype.
