I remember bringing this issue up long time ago under a different name: Endless Documents. There was no single solution to this problem that worked for all situations. For certain applications, using well-formed external entities worked. Low-level data multiplexing works. Protocol tunneling sometimes needs to be used to get around legacy problems. The fact that DTD had to be declared at the head of a document and could not be changed or augmented afterward poses problems but I am hoping that the Schema WG will address this soon.
