I would like to point all SGML/DSSSL authors to the guidelines
published at
<URL:http://www.sgmltools.org/docs/sgml-dir-standard/t01.html>, namely
the "SGML on Unix Directory Hierarchy Standard".

Even thought the SGMLtools project is on the rocks right now, the
standard will live on.  When I get a chance, I'm going to collect some
proposed modifications to that standard.  I would be open to a Win32
user's perspective on how the system could possibly be extended so
that some parity is brought between a Windows setup and a Unix setup.

Several operating systems such as Debian GNU/Linux provide their own
SGML entity management subsystem.  However, general community-wide
acceptance of file/directory standards is a good thing.
