Great.  This is exactly what I want.  However to be more general I want to
use formal public identifiers.  I'm assuming I want to use a name such as
"-//Russell O'Connor//DOC name here//EN"

What do I want to use to say that my file is an SGML document? What
characters am I allowed to use in "name here"? Is there a standard way of
escapeing characters that I'm not allowed to use? (obviously "//" won't be
allowed) Is there a length restriction on FPI? I'm a little concerned that
mine will get long.
