I don't think that's asking for anything outlandish. (a) first of all, why does it have to be internal? If it's external & identified by a well-known URI I assume that processors could have cached versions and/or only retrieve when referenced. (b) the amount of gymnastics required is going to be about the same whether it's DTD or some other syntax, I could devise a bunch of syntaxes for saying that &foobar; means ს but none of them are really going to be dramatically simpler than the <!ENTITY syntax that DTDs use. I'm not hostile to what people want to accomplish here; It's just that I haven't seen a suggestion from anybody yet that's clearly better than what we have now. -Tim
