I don't know if I understood correctly what you said, but I was
proposing adding this to the existing Gnome DTD, not creating a new
one. 

If you're saying that we should migrate to the DocBook DTD, without
any customization, then I think you're correct, but it would be
interesting for us to have a variant with these "macros" in it, so I
don't see any reason to rewrite documents that explain how to
contribute to the Gnome Documentation Project. 

As we already have several documents written using it, and several
documents that explain how to write a new document, I don't think that
adding such new entity will cause many troubles.


I'm just making a suggestion :-)
