So how do I declare content models that use elements from more than one
set, such as:
<!ELEMENT a:A (b:B, c:C)>
Do I just use prefixes in the syntax and leave the prefix declarations
to some external mechanism, as your "typicalPrefix" attribute seems to
imply? Or do I simply not declare such elements with a DTD?

Which I think John's suggestion is close to hitting. I'd guess it's:
DTDs + namespaces + simple element types
