Hi Erik,

Unfortunately I can't. This is a very old XML format I am dealing with, with  
lot of data being stored in that format, and I am happy to have any validation
available at all. I don't exactly feel like creating an XMLScheme for it. Not
to mention that, from all I understood, XMLSchemes can't handle entities - and
entities are a core part of the format, encoding much more than just
characters :(

I pasted most of the global .ent files into all of the DTDs, thanks for that
hint. It's working, but ugly, so I still hope for some configuration switch :)
. After all, I'm not going to productively use the new version before it had a
stable release.

Kind regards,
Ralf Jung
