Thanks, Mark.  I think your suggestions are correct.

The large applications like DocBook facilitate or, in the case of TEI,
practically require, local customization.  My concern was that those local
extensions should live near the applications they modify and not be stepped on
by updates.

Yeah, I think it is unnecessary.

I can live with that.  If a closer proximity is required symlinks can serve that
purpose.

Thanks again,
