I use the following approach: All my subdocuments contain their *own*
DOCTYPE declaration. I include them in the main document via a system
entity referring to them with a *special file extension* (e.g. .sgm
instead of .sgml). I've got a makefile that generates the .sgm form of
the subdocuments with sgmlnorm:
sgmlnorm -wno-idref -iDOC.INCLUDE subdocument.sgml >subdocument.sgm
Then I can process both the main document and a single sub-document
simply with `make thedocument.ps' and there is no need for special
wrappers and/or changes in the documents.
