Not so. It would be perfectly reasonable for the group to pick the
best aspects of each topic map to create the best possible end
product.

Not everything. I would guess that they don't actually state that
German is a language, and that they do not provide a PSI for the
concepts of countries and languages.

Could you explain why it is necessary?

Could you explain how that causes parsing headaches worse than a
system identifier pointing to a non-existent local file? I'm not dead
set on the one approach or the other, but I would like to know the
reasoning behind yours before agreeing or disagreeing with it.
