You'll see this is where it becomes interesting... ;-)

2 things:
- what is your strategy for xdocs? Do you plan to convert every single
xdoc file to the maven format?
- why do you need to have navigation.xml pointing to ../dtds ?

This is not currently possible with Maven. It's a known limitation that
properties cannot be inherited between projects
(http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/ViewIssue.jspa?key=MAVEN-37).
Project.xml and maven.xml are inherited properly but not properties. 

The only solution that currently exists is to define all the properties
in a top level maven.xml file (using the <j:set> tag).
