Yes, you're right, it's provided at http://www.nag.co.uk/projects/OpenMath/mml-files/

The main stylesheet, docbook.xsl, includes some of the common N. Walsh stylesheets
(../common/l10n.xsl", ../common/common.xsl"). This is why the lyx stylesheets should be
located correcty. The other stylesheets are specific to the lyx translation, such as
the docbook/html/ stylesheets are specific to produce HTML. Besides, it is not so easy
to have real common piece of code, used by every stylesheets.

Yes, you are right: the ent/ directory needn't to be archived.

At which level sgmltools is involved with entities?

The problem with XML is that paths are required. There isn't the catalog mechanism. How
would you manage this?

I've just downloaded Amaya, and it seems very interesting!
