Theoretically that is certainly doable; pragmatically I'm not sure it is. It
would take me simply ages to compile this one great big DTD, and then on
publishing all the documents would have to have their DTDs changed again, to
something which isn't specific to my system (admittedly that's pretty simple
but a pain nonetheless). As the W3C publishes new applications at a rate
of knots these days I'd be spending more time trying to maintain my super DTD
then I would working!

Thanks for the suggestion anyway. It will certainly be worth bearing in mind
if no other solution looks likely.

Best, Darren
