Or, as Ardo & I have briefly discussed off-list, it would make sense to have debian host some DTDs (etc.) in some canonical directory. Doing so would amount to having valid system identifiers that would look something like: "http://www.debian.org/xml/freedesktop/.../fonts.dtd"; along with an FPI: -//Debian/DTD Fonts Catalog V1.0//EN" The reason I suggest this is that the need for such a facility is IMO going to continue to grow. (We already have one case with a customization of the XML Catalog DTD.) For example, if DDP, or some such entity adopts a customization of some version of DocBook, it'd be nice to have a real, valid, system id. We might have the same need for a Debian namespace(s), eventually. Just a thought,..., but one that I think is pursuing.
