OK... now we have a plan that will get the train to the station
on time.

Here's what I see as the outstanding DTD related issues, relative
to the Aug 22 version:
* 3 files or 1? (1 seems to be the way to go)
* What to use for public text ower?
(I think "-//IETF//DTD HTML//EN//2.0" will work)
* Get rid of Prescriptive and Obsolete distinctions
(1 valid objection has been raised. I feel
they should be kept in.)
* Prepare an HTML-specific version of the ISOlat1 entites
file, rather than referencing the public text
* Allow </A> to be ommitted? (I'd say: yes at this point)
I'll try to incorporate these changes and make the results available
next week some time.

Please do both, so I can link to the FTP version from my "review
materials" page.

I can hardly wait!
Thanks for all the work.
