Currently, I have a single directrory. /usr/lib/sgml.dtd (soon to
become /usr/share/sgml/dtd/) with 61 DTD's in there. I have
html. xhtml. docbook (several versions) debiandoc, and linuxdoc stuff
in there.
Andthis machine does not have all my XML based DTD's that I am
rapidly having to use.

And, of course, no one needs more than 640Kb Memory either ;-)
Are we looking for a standard for docbook, or is this supposed
to be a general SGML/XML standard?
I think we should not be that short sighted when creating a
standard that is supposed to have a half life or more than a few
months. If the standard is not designed to accomodate several hundred
DTD's, it is not going to be adopted.
