Thanks -- I had tried some things like that, but even that example 
seemed to be ignored by the set-up I had.  I clipped it out and popped 
it in my "main.dtd" from which the regular docbook DTD is called, and 
while it didn't create any problems that I could see, it also seemed to 
have no effect on the strings one could enter for the xref role 
attribute; I could still put in any ol' random string and the DTD would 
smile and let it pass.  But it certainly looks like it _should_ have 
worked.  Mmmm, it's probably something weird with the configuration of 
the system I'm working with ....

Cheers,
Carl
