We've discussed this a couple of times with reference to the ever-changing MathML DTDs. I've now implemented a working proof-of-concept for a distributed master catalogue that anyone can reference to synchronise their local installation. It's at http://valet.webthing.com/catalogue/ (the HTML page is a placeholder I hacked together in 5 minutes) The program uses OpenSP to read a master definition file (SGML), which defines a simple doctype and includes entities containing definitions for different document types (currently HTML, XHTML, Docbook, MathML, SVG, SMIL, WAP). The user can run the program to sync with the "master" catalogue ( http://valet.webthing.com/catalogue/master.sgml ) installing/updating everything it defines, or can hack local versions to customise it. This clearly fits in with the Validator as well as with Valet, and I'd be happy to see it become a W3C project. Any interest? -- Nick Kew In urgent need of paying work - see http://www.webthing.com/~nick/cv.html
