I don't know what dcl mode stands for.

Not necessarily.  Maybe, the user has written himself a .dcl mode which
is rather limited.  Such a user most probably is interested in the NEWS
of an official dcl mode -- but he will never see it, because he
something as follows in .emacs (like me):

(setq auto-mode-alist
      (append
       (list
        '("\\.dcl$" . dtd-mode)
        '("\\.mod$" . dtd-mode))
       auto-mode-alist))

I think does does not hurt to leave it stay.
