I'm starting to port the CVD documentation to DocBook. For my XML

../../../docbook/docbook-xml-4.4/docbookx.dtd
Even if I could make the web URL work, I would still prefer the local

Anybody see any problem with that?
Might be OK, but all these kinds of issues are "supposed" to be handled
by XML Catalogs. These map official DTD names to local files. "DocBook
XSL: The Complete Guide" has a whole chapter on this, which is available
online: http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/Catalogs.html
I use XMLBuddy in Eclipse, which has all kinds of Eclipse-style DTD
provided help (such as auto-completion, showing you only "valid" choices
of tags, attributes, attribute-values, etc., all based on the DTDs). It
seems to work fine with the XML Catalogs. (Note: these Catalogs are
part of the uima-docbooks project).

I use the web tools, which work fine for me in other contexts. However,
I managed to send Eclipse into an infinite loop by adding the DocBook ID
to the XML catalog (of the web tools xml editor). I had to kill Eclipse
and manually edit the appropriate Eclipse config file to get things
working again. Either I did something wrong, or there's a bug in the
web tool's XML catalog support; likely both, actually. I'm not prepared
to spend more time on this, so I'll leave the CVD's doc file pointing at
a local DTD for now.
