We have been doing just this for many years. tei_all.dtd is less constrained
than tei_all.rng. Try validating <date when=“1990-15”> with the DTD and the
RELAXNG schema, for example; and it’s limited to datatyping.

With regard to Pure ODD: unless I am going mad, we have not
yet defined a notation for how to express “p in sourcedesc has a different
content model from other p”.  So it is not that Pure ODD isn’t implemented
yet, it isn’t defined yet. I may be not remembering things, though.
