   Actually, inclusions are considered to be kind of bad form in SGML
design, I believe, but as a brute force method of making this work,
they could do the trick, I think.  A more elegant approach would be a
good thing(tm), if one could be found.

   This may be a better way to go, though the entity reference
approach may be usable in more places (have to go back and study that
a bit).  It's definitely one of those "needs more thought" kind of
areas. :)
