Yes, I think this can be very useful.  But if you reverse-engineer a DTD from any existing document, there is no unique solution.
The program will therefore try to guess what it should do, and the result will have to be hand-adjusted to make it more usable.  I
found a product (I forget right now which one) that can create a DTD from an XML example, and tried it.  Interesting results, and I
had to work on the DTD by hand.
