You could try to create a DTD which adds the VML elements and attributes to
XHTML (or use an existing, if you can find one). But that would require a
different public identifier, probably forcing the browser into quirks
mode - that's probably a price you don't wanna pay...
You may also try to use a schema based validator, which is namespace aware -
DTD base validation is pretty much useless, when multiple namespaces are
used. Can't say, if that actually works without an example though...
