Uttered "Paul W. Frields" <stickster(a)gmail.com>, spake thus:
People are inevitably going to want local entities in their document.
Hmm.. translatable local entities. I guess it's a natural
progression. I'll look into adding XML->ENT productions into
"Makefile.common" next month, er, tomorrow, 2006-03-01.
In order to ease translation, would it make sense for our entity
generation engine, either instead of or in addition to linking to the
common entities file, recognize a local entity file and merge it with
the common one, thus presenting a single mass of entity material which
could be included in the document DTD as a solitary call in place of the
current "locale-entities.xml" declaration -- one of such raw power, such
sheer enormity, such elegant austerity, and such overwhelming
magnificence that it would inevitably inspire awe, nay, OBEISANCE in all
those who gaze upon it, and even put a stop to this gigantic runaway
sentence???
