If you change the extend the DTD, you'll have to extend the stylesheets
to support your DTD extensions, but the bulk of the stylesheets will
work fine.

| where in the DTD to define an extension of cmdsynopsis? I'm trying to
| study the DTD, and it seems a bit above my basic understanding of SGML.

As Bob suggested, DocBook: TDG outlines the basic procedure.
