That's bogus. We need the SGML declaration that goes with your language.
According to Glenn, it would be as follows, but this sdecl requires
Glenn's patch to sgmls (which I haven't tried) to parse without error.
So I don't (yet) find it acceptable. Please, if anyone has a better
SGML decl for HTML that "makes 10646 the document character set",
send it to me. And if Glenn's patch is proper, what is the argument
re 8879 that says that sgmls and SP are interpreting the sdecl
incorrectly, and that Glenn's patch makes sgmls do it right?
I'm commenting here on the need for the SGML decl, not the language
as it stands at the moment.
