|   Then wherever you want the license to appear in your SGML, you say:
|   
|   &opl.sgml

Something along these lines.  Use PUBLIC identifiers even for entities
and it will work for all of us.  PUBLIC identifiers are resolvable via
CATALOGs:

<DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//GNOME//DTD DocBook PNG Variant V1.0//EN" [
<!ENTITY licence-text PUBLIC "-//IDN gnome.org//ENTITIES DocBook Licence Text//EN">
]>
<article>
...
&licence-text;
...
</article>

And add to the CATALOG:

PUBLIC "-//IDN gnome.org//ENTITIES DocBook Licence Text//EN" "blurb.sgml"

As you see: we can do it if we try ;)

And, Dan, there's no need for VFS to solve this problem ;)

Not me, Telsa, but Norman obviously (TDG, p. 340 s.) or online at:
