	Agreed; it seems to complicate XBEL, more than seems necessary 
for a fairly simple application like maintaining a bookmark file.

	Good point, but I'm not sure at what URI it should live.
python.org/sigs/xml-sig/ isn't permanent; SIGs are supposed to die

so eventually.  That leaves somewhere in /topics/xml/; perhaps
/topics/xml/DTD/ can be used for such DTDs.
