dtd-start is a rule performed at the start of a DTD, immediately after the document element name is determined, so that the DTD's name is known. The built-in shelf #doctype can be used to access the DTD's name.

The dtd-start rule allows markup comments and processing instructions prior to the DTD to be distinguished from those within the DTD.
