The ISO entity sets are now maintained in XML at the W3C: http://www.w3.org/2003/entities/ I think it's time to stop shipping our own hacked sets with DocBook. Pro: - one less set of entities in the world - makes the distribution smaller - fixes a recently reported bug that the mapping for hyphen is incorrect in the current sets - relies on an external standard for XML entities just like for SGML entities - means that a single set can be shared across all of a users documents Con: - one more thing for the end user to install - I don't know if they're packaged yet - the system identifier will hit the net if you aren't using a catalog of some sort On balance, I think the pros outweigh the cons, but I doubt that'll get unanimous agreement. Be seeing you, norm -- Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com> | 'I have done that,' says my http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/ | memory. 'I cannot have done Chair, DocBook Technical Committee | that'--says my pride, and remains | adamant. At last--memory yields.-- | Nietzsche
