The validation part isn't the problem, the problem is we need to inject the various &reftitle.parameters;, &reftitle.this.and.that; entities we have into documents like book.xml, without actually referencing the DTD in book.xml. We could do some voodoo to inject a DTD declaration into book/reference/functionname.xml files (and writing it back into tmp.xml during processing or whatever)... I suppose that would be the only way since the dtdvalid only does validation but doesnt actually inject the DTD as I had hoped for :( -Hannes
