If it helps, I've attached a Docbook file which does exactly that: it
includes an entity file with my favorite entities.

I can edit the Docbook file (and validates it) with nXML and I can
validate it against the RelaxNG schema with xsltproc (and of course
against the DTD with nsgmls).

% xmllint --noout --relaxng RelaxNG/Docbook/docbook.rng test.db
test.db validates

If I use xmllint without the --noout, I can see that the entity was
indeed processed and expanded.
