nah, I had a similar problem a few months ago, in my case 1193
documents without a single dtd specifier in the whole mess.
The following posix script had it all cleaned up in under an
hour without affecting the production server too much...

find /html -iname \*html ! -type d -exec mv {} /tmp/fixme && \
  cp /tmp/dtdspec {} && cat /tmp/fixme >> {} \;

In reality I think I had to use a seperate script for
the exec step... not sure, but it gives you the idea...
all you need is a posix shell. I had originally started
with it detecting if the file had a dtd already, but a quick
rgrep told me there weren't any at all so I didn't bother.
