Yesterday on the XML-L list, John Robert Gardner (mailto:
jgardner at blue.weeg.uiowa.edu) announced a demo that does that (among other
things). His DTD is at:
	http://www.uiowa.edu/~etd/tdm.dtd
The entitities declared all point to Rick's .pen files stored at James
Tauber's schema.net site. (A couple of the files had minor typos until last
week, but Rick has since cleaned them up.)

The demonstration is at:
	http://www.uiowa.edu/~etd/front.xml
and there's a discussion of concepts at:
	http://www.uiowa.edu/~etd/

As far as I know, JohnG is not actually referencing the entities anywhere
in the instance -- he included them in the DTD simply for completeness and
possible future use. Nevertheless, IE5 doesn't choke on their declarations.
