Gershon,

I append a backtranslated error protocol from the compilation of the
unmodified docbookx.dtd, which does not write a WP-template for the dtd.
The dtd compiler does not crash.

When the NOTATIONs are removed from dbnotnx.mod as described earlier
docbookx.dtd can be compiled but the XML warnings except for the
NOTATIONs reappear.

Note (J.v.J): this a translation from the german error dtd-compiler messages.The noun "declaration" is perhaps an incorrect translation from "Kennzeichnung" which really means "definite description", but I don't know the original english error text, and "declaration" seems to me more plausible in this context.
