Hmm, why the "examples" subfolder and not the dispspecs one?

One more thought which occurred to me while thinking about TEI/TEI Lite:
as I hinted, very often you don't use TEI (Lite) but a personal view of
the TEI dtd which can have (and normally has) a completely different
name. This means that, even if the dtd is a subset of the TEI superset,
you can't have it recognized by Conglomerate because the dtd is a
different and differently named file; I suppose something similar may
happen with customized versions of docbook. So, why not allowing the
user to *choose* a dispspec for his document, if it can't automatically
be assigned by Conge?

How about the whitespace="normalize" attribute?

OK, thanks for all the info.
