This would help if all people used the same conventions. At my place
we use "debug" to mean javac.debug and rmic.debug at the same time for
example.

No, you can't. The individual items of enumerated attributes in DTDs
have to follow the "NMTOKEN production", which means they must not use
any character except those listed at
<http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-xml-19980210#NT-NameChar>. $, { and }
are not legal, so the only thing you can do is to relax the attribute
to be of type CDATA.

I know, I'm doing so for our inhouse documentation (using DocBook),
