Thank you for your suggestion. 

In your first example, that DSSSL book author does not use that example as
DSSSL style-sheet. What he want to say in NOTAION is "This is DSSSL file".
I think, about our idea, style-sheet entity's notation should mean
"THIS IS STYLE-SHEET which described in DSSSL". This idea needs STYLE-SHEET 
notation.

About this,

Using NOTATION as intention for use of entity is not so good in SGML?

I recongnize our idea's weak points by your suggentions. What I like
my idea is no SGML extentions is not need. All of this idea is application
matter.
