Yes this one was a good start and my document is following this
structure. I made all parent SGML files to be auto generated from a
single template file by a "sed" script in Makefile. This was small
improvement since I only need to maintain one parent file template when
a chapter was added or chapter order needed to be changed.
This structure still requires cut-and-paste and editing of contents
across all language files if, for example, one wants to move one section
in <sect> to to another section and make it into <chapt> when document
grows its content.

This is similar in concept but file organization is not as nice as
boot-floppies.

Thanks:) But these approaches were not sufficient for me.
See my other posting for what I am planning. problem is there are about
200 plus <chapt>, <sect>, <sect1> already exist and that makes 200 plus
separate files for all 3 languages. (Already Spanish may be added to
make it 4.)
I think this is the only simple solution to enable content
reorganization without making process too complicated. KISS.
