Sigh, again.  Install nomralized SGML files (= XML) and the animal will
fly.  For authoring purposes you'll keep the files with entities, of
course.  Makefile with pseudo commands:

    install:
            sgmlnorm FILE.sgml | sx > FILE.xml
            install FILE.xml datadir/.../help/FILE.xml

Is this so difficult to understand?  Please, move your brain :)

He's write, but that's why I said you should use tools which are
available...  sgmlnorm and sx...  XML is a buzzword.  XML is nothing or
than normalized SGML.  XML _is_ SGML.
