  Ok, I forgot to attach the XBEL DTD after my response to Greg's
comments, so here it is.
  What's changed?  Only <bookmark> carries the "id" attribute, so only 
<bookmark> elements may be referred to by <alias> elements.  Comments
were added to help explain "scheme" and <alias>.  Reference to the ISO 
general entities has been removed.
  There are still outstanding issues related to the metadata stuff.
I'm waiting for commentary from Marc before I make changes there.
