AFAIK, the main stumbling block for that is that XML doesn't allow

we are not likely to give up. So I'm not sure of the point of changing
something as trivial as entity declaration casing. You're going to end
up having to fork the documentation anyway, or at least feed it through
an SGML to XML converter. So why not fix the entity casing then?
Tom,
Honestly, for German I don't mind yet if it is XML or SGML. XML might
be better in future for maintenance tools.
Anyway, I figured out there is another argument for XML:
My information is that DocBook 5.0 won't support SGML anymore.
Which means - sooner or later a reaction is needed.

P.S.:
Btw. I change <foo>whatever</> into <foo>whatever</foo> when it
is in the parts which I am translating because my emacs indent don't
like </>.
