One of the common uses of entities (external and internal) is for boilerplate that's common across documents - copyright notices for example - and for that purpose fixed values are what you want. But the system ID of an external entity can be a relative URI, so it's also possible to package up a document with a set of external entities in the same directory. -- Richard | ||||||
