This is easily accomplished with an external entity:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8">
<!DOCTYPE ERRORS SYSTEM "errors.dtd" [
<!ENTITY errlog SYSTEM "errors.xml">
]>
<ERRORS>
&errlog;
</ERRORS>
In-progress specifications like XInclude or XLink may eventually provide
other ways of doing this, but for now entity inclusion is standard.
