external parsed entites (was: A unique ID question ?)

[Gorden-Ozgul, Patricia E]

Is there a listserv dedicated to more basic SGML/XML issues?  This list
seems to be geared for those planning for or on the 'bleeding edge'.  Any
help appreciated.
TIA

. Well, I'm with Eliot.  XML would be altogether better if we'd just
