Tim, The modular design of the dtd also makes it easy to pull parts into another dtd of your own creation. For example, you might create a resume.dtd that at some points allows docbook paras (and the paras take the standard docbook inlines). See http://docbook.org/tdg/en/html/ch05.html. I do know of a resume dtd <https://sourceforge.net/projects/xmlresume>, but unfortunately it doesn't use docbook in this way, so one of its weaknesses is a lack of inline elements. I've been meaning to post that as a suggestion for that project.
