Not to my knowledge. Sun provides a DTD with the JNLP
Spec. documents.. umm.. where-is-it..
<http://www.google.com/search?as_filetype=dtd&as_sitesearch=java.sun.com>
U-yup, there.. 6th link..
<http://java.sun.com/dtd/JNLP-6.0.dtd>
though technically that is for 6, not 5.

Google also finds my two XSD files at JavaSaver.
<http://www.google.com/search?q=+site%3Ajavasaver.com+filetype%3Axsd>

Maybe there are no logical links (as parsed by Google)
to other 'naked' DTD's and XSD's (vague shrug).

.issue a version with 'all disclaimers - use at own risk'
in the comments at the top, and be done with it - is
my 'IANAL response'.

As an aside, I had also been thinking of making an XSD
of the JNLP DTD, since I know there are tools which will
convert a DTD to a simple XSD (I don't know off-hand
what they are). I developed a DTD for the XScreenSaver
GUI config. files, somebody converted it to a XSD, and
we quickly abandoned the DTD and instead refined the
XSD.
