When you refer to an external subset it is the same as putting the contents of the external subset at the end of the DOCTYPE declaration. Hence, since "<!DOCTYPE ..." has already been read, the "<!DOCTYPE ..." in the external subset will generate an error. Some SGML systems require the doctype because of how they are designed. Depending on the system, you may be able to set up catalogs (ie entity mappings) so your documents can be processed by multiple SGML systems without modifying your data. --ewh
