Any comments on support for custom entities in, say, the opac ?

Could I just add a custom entity in my opac_local.dtd file or will this break 
things (i.e. does an entity have to be registered elsewhere, including in 
opac.dtd)?  

We are using a customized left sidebar menu for certain navigational items, and 
we are also using /locale/ dtd's for Evergreen entities in our bilingual 
environment. I can handle non Evergreen links already (using /locale/ aware 
includes, hardcoding links, etc.) but I was just wondering if I could manage 
some of our  external links using custom entities, and if so, any gotchas to 
look out for?

Step by step our customized opac coming along satisfactorily -- a few things to 
get used to and improve upon (like don't make /any/ xml errors, some minor CSS 
enhancements to be done for finer grain control, etc.), but I'm very impressed 
with the thinking and organization behind the OPAC layout pages!
