DTDs themselves are not incompatible with namespaces.  DTD validity
and other aspects of element and attribute declarations are hard to
combine with namespaces.  But if you just want some entity
declarations, it shouldn't be a problem.  Just don't try to validate,
and don't bother declaring anything except the entities.

This is a perfectly well-formed document entity:

<!DOCTYPE dummy [
<!ENTITY ent SYSTEM "ent.xml">
]>
<bar>&ent;</bar>

You don't even have to get the root element name right in the DOCTYPE
statement.
