For a number of application areas (especially "document" related areas, as
opposed to "data," for whatever that distinction is worth), there is
currently no way to move away from DTDs, because entities cannot be defined
except in DTDs (that's general parsed entities, not parameter entities or
unparsed entities, which have narrower usage/appeal).
At present, there's no apparent activity targeted toward providing an
alternate entity-definition mechanism.
