Question

Is it possible to define a wildcard attribute in DTD?

Answer 1

+1 A:

No. The XHTML DTD works around this with entity declarations, something like this (simplified):

<!ENTITY % coreattrs
 "id          ID             #IMPLIED
  class       CDATA          #IMPLIED
  style       %StyleSheet;   #IMPLIED
  title       %Text;         #IMPLIED"
  >

<!ELEMENT a %a.content;>
<!ATTLIST a
  %coreattrs;
  href        %URI;          #IMPLIED
  ... etcetera ...
  >
