My apologies, I should have explained it better and at once.

Here is the context. I am coordinating the Italian translation of the
documentation and we are about to create a branch for 9.1. The
publishing mechanism is based on DocBook XML (as well as the French
one), as we are facing extreme difficulties publishing using SGML tools.

My intention was to start and change some simple documentation files in
order to make our conversion process from SGML to XML smoother, while
keeping the SGML compatibility of the original documentation intact.
Also I was trying to make the ENTITY declarations consistent throughout
the documents.

I hope I gave you a more clear explanation.

Cheers,
Gabriele
