For the declarations:

<!DOCTYPE document SYSTEM "document.dtd"
[
<!NOTATION BMP PUBLIC "+//ISBN 0-7923-9432-1::Graphic Notation//NOTATION
                      Microsoft Windows Bitmap//EN">
<!ENTITY object SYSTEM "object-1.bmp" NDATA BMP>
<?stylesheet href="document.dsl" type="text/dsssl">

<!ELEMENT Graphic  - o EMPTY >
<!ATTLIST Graphic
	  content ENTITY #REQUIRED >
]>

and the markup:

<Graphic content="object">

these stylesheet entries will work in Jade:

(element graphic
  (make external-graphic
    display?: #t        ; display the image
    scale: 1 ;;'max-uniform
	display-alignment: 'center
    entity-system-id: (entity-generated-system-id (attribute-string
"CONTENT"))
    space-before: ParSpacing ; define as needed	
    space-after:  ParSpacing ; define as needed
))

Notice that this raises the issue of keeping the style sheet declarations
in sync with the DTD declarations, i.e., the "content" attribute must be
declared as having an entity value in both places. At this point, what the
"policy" is if the declarations don't match has not, to my knowledge, been
addressed.
