I'd rather not put more effort into the DTD than absolutely necessary.
I'm halfway porting it to XML Schema. Plus, a lot of the documentation
in the DTD is plain outdated. In fact, the patch in question has been
written against a different DTD file, more likely a better documented
version that was never committed.

Not convinced about that. '*' is already used explicitly in arch='', so
I don't see a reason to not allow the same syntax here. This is also
what the Paludis implementation assumes, and it fits into slot operators
nicely.

Maybe I should just change the default from #IMPLIED to "*"? (i.e. make
omitted attribute equivalent to "*" DTD-wise)
