Are The Constraints In The DTD Or The DTD?

This sentence is misleading, since the constraints are really contained in the document type definition (DTD). OK, the DTD is contained in the document type declaration, so the spec is correct, but since the function of the DTD is simply to hold these constraints, it would have been better to say "definition" or DTD.
