It would help a | lot developing modularized documents. It's just part of the definition of a "document" in SGML and XML. On the surface it would seem reasonable to ignore duplicate declarations, but it would introduce some nasty complexity, I fear, in handling entity declarations and mixed document types. Anyway, the XML answer to this problem is almost certainly xinclude (http://www.w3.org/TR/xinclude), which is a layer on top of the XML parser.
