There is no DTD customization needed. Only thing you need is such 
modification of stylesheets that doesn't indent first para. It should be 
sufficient to add something like this into your customization layer:

<xsl:template match="para[1]">
  <fo:block text-indent="0em">
    <xsl:apply-imports/>
  </fo:block>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="para">
  <fo:block text-indent="1em">
    <xsl:apply-imports/>
  </fo:block>
</xsl:template>
