OK... But, then how _do_ you go about including another document
inside your own? Or can a valid document _not_ include another
valid document? Must I create invalid document fragments and
separate DTD's if I just want to blend them all into a single 
document?

(Since the absence of a DTD makes a doc not valid, right?)
