Yes a good idea. (May do both) I am a developer for freedict but not one of the head honchos. (Still working on autogenerating proper TEI header.

My first instinct was to use the names as found in the ZIP file... Then I was thinking maybe people would have multiple versions.. Certainly the final catalogs are still named as per TEI . <insert sound of grinding metal> yeah should be possible to keep the naming as you noted above right through. The developer level documentation (HowTo I am working on at the moment includes a full section on installing and configuring the Full TEI DTD's .. It would be nice to get it right :) I am recommending that by prefence packaging tools (debs rpms) are used, other wise I am suggesting they install under /user/local/sgml/ as this is a real SGML technology that also does XML .. as far as I can see.
