We don't ship those entities but rather use the SGML/XML entities in the standard place as defined in the LSB SGML/XML directory layout spec. I don't see why each DTD package should have to drag around standard XML ISO entities with them. Thus in Debian we ship them in the sgml-data package. That saves disk space and is easier to maintain. As I read the copyright, it's perfectly ok to change the system identifiers referenced in the DocBk XML DTD. -- .....Adam Di [EMAIL PROTECTED]<URL:http://www.onshored.com/>
