DOCBOOK-APPS: patches for gentext's german l10n/i18n; symbolic namesin xmlcharent01 (fwd)

[Steffen Maier]

Sorry for having posted this mail to the wrong list ... my fault.

Because I'm unsure if my patches should go directly to sourceforge, I post
them here for comments.

Subject: patches for gentext's german l10n/i18n; symbolic names in
    xmlcharent01

Hello all,

IMHO there are some mistakes in the german localization within gentext
especially concerning typographically correct quotes. A unified diff
against the CVS-version from 24/11/2001 is attached to this email. (IIRC
this was once correct when I used some rather old version of the
dsssl-stylesheets.)

BTW, I was wondering why there are different symbolic names in
xml-charents-0.1 compared to HTML4/XHTML for e.g. the following entities:

&#8222; => &bdquo; (HTML4/XHTML) => &ldquor; (xmlcharent-0.1)
&#8218; => &sbquo; (HTML4/XHTML) => &lsquor; (xmlcharent-0.1)

Bye,
Steffen.
