Oh, I see. The entities are related to MathML support, and are not provided by the
standard DocBook XSL stylesheets (of course). I've taken then from the original
package, but it is true that it should be provided in some external MathML
support. I will look at this point.

It is not so easy since these entities are included with a relative path in the
stylesheets. But the solution could be to impose where the files should be
located. We could have something like:
(path)/docbook/common
(path)/docbook/html
(path)/docbook/lyx
...
(path)/mathml/ent
(path)/mathml/dtd
...
What do you think? Until now, the stylesheets work only with ent/ under lyx/, but
it can be changed. For your convenience we can avoid to put the files in the
repository for the good reason that they never change.

If Alejandro is interested in some of these materials for his mathed support (the
testsuite.xml and/or the -- not really clean -- testsuite.lyx file) I can send
them.

No, but I will try it. The test suite provides a complete html doc, in which there
is a rendering for each example.
