I have a need in one of my plugins to add some DTD's to Forrest. This

The end result of this discussion was:

Since I am not very clued in with catalogs and their use I have no
opinion on this thread, but I do need to implement something. So, if
someone has the time (and the wine) to design a solution for *exactly*

(remember Sean does make a proposal that is discussed without a
conclusion, so this may be a shorter job than you think).
