Hello Mark, Is it possible for the UTC to provide a version of this DTD that is guaranteed not to change (even if it may become outdated by a new version)? This would help avoid problems in the future. As for <import>, I think the main functionality that Makoto needs (small file size, no data duplication) can be achieved with XML entities.
