I think this is really long.  The longer the FPIs, the more likely  
there is going to be a mistake entering it.  How about:

-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V5.0 for Legal Publishers V1.0//EN
-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V5.0 for Education Publishers V1.0//EN
-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V5.0 for Medical Publishers V1.0//EN


I also suggest removing the V5.0, because I think this is confusing.  
The documentation for the DTD could easily convey what version of  
DocBook these came from.
