If possible could you provide an example?     (never really used catalogs)

The reason I went down the original route was I hoping to replace
entities with xml, such as:

<ent:entity name="euro" number="8364"/>

...similar to what I've done in the past with LexEv, but as George has
been pointed out its different when no doctype has been supplied.


It a little odd that feeds like this exist - they must be created by
non-xml tools, then consumed by non-xml tools...
