Apparently, all of them:

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Document_Type_Definition

Under "Security":

~~
An XML DTD can be used to create a denial of service (DoS) attack by defining 
nested entities that expand exponentially, or by sending the XML parser to an 
external resource that never returns.[10]

For this reason, .NET Framework provides a property that allows prohibiting or 
skipping DTD parsing, [10] and recent versions of Microsoft Office 
applications (Microsoft Office 2010 and higher) refuse to open XML files that 
contain DTD declarations.
~~

So, if org ODT export now depends on a DTD, then we'd have to say that we 
don't support exported files that open in MS Word.
