I think this is on-topic and is a more general problem.  Please excuse
me if I'm wrong :-)

I interpret this to be a specific case of a more general problem - how
do we associate multiple documents delivered over the WWW?  (Among the
documents are DTDs, entities of many sorts, transcluded documents, 
style sheets, and methods (e.g. Java classes).  I am no expert here,
but at least one person has suggested JAR files.  Is this a generic solution
for this type of problem (I agree it's probably only one of several 
solutions?)
