That approach is tempting but doesn't scale well as everything in the world gets its own DTD eventually... We have a similar problem with Net::* now all the world is networked. I'd prefer XML::* to be reserved for *very* generic and/or *low level* XML manipulation modules. Anything that's related to a single DTD should probably live elsewhere. Tim.
