Yah, but they are ISO entities! > That name is really long... Yah. > What distribution do they come from?

I've always thought there should be a community maintained set of "common XML/SGML data" akin to sgml-data in Debian. It would contain just basic DTDs and standard entities so that the different SGML/XML dtds didn't have to keep shipping their own version of that stuff. In the Debian sgml-data package there's also a lot of W3O stuff such as xhtml-* and such, but I'm not sure if that should ultimately be broken out separately (the recent release of xhtml-modular as a draft recommendation got me thinking along those lines). Probably. I don't really have time this month to deal with that but maybe I can get that started in spring or summer... -- .....Adam Di [EMAIL PROTECTED]<URL:http://www.onShore.com/>
