Yes, that may be a step in the right direction.  

 -- User Option: sgml-parent-document
     Used when the current file is part of a bigger document.

     The variable describes how the current file's content fit into the
     element hierarchy.  The variable should have the form

          (PARENT-FILE CONTEXT-ELEMENT* TOP-ELEMENT (HAS-SEEN-ELEMENT*)?)

    PARENT-FILE
          is a string, the name of the file containing the document
          entity.

So I want this to be a string that is the pathname of a file
containing the string: 
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" 
                      "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

    CONTEXT-ELEMENT
          is a string, that is the name of an element type.  It can
          occur 0 or more times and is used to set up exceptions and
          short reference map.  Good candidates for these elements are
          the elements open when the entity pointing to the current
          file is used.

Could the first line be written as "CONTEXT-ELEMENT is the name of an
element type, as a string." ?

I want be able to start my fragments with <p>, <table> or any other
tag that is permitted inside a BODY tag.  What should I set
CONTEXT-ELEMENT to?

What exceptions and short reference maps does the documentation refer
to?

    TOP-ELEMENT
          is a string that is the name of the element type of the top
          level element in the current file.  The file should contain
          one instance of this element, unless the last (lisp) element
          of sgml-parent-document is a list.  If it is a list, the top
          level of the file should follow the content model of
          top-element.

Again, an example would be helpful.

    HAS-SEEN-ELEMENT
          is a string that is the name of an element type.  This
          element is satisfied in the content model of top-element.

What is required from an element for it to be satisfied in a content
model?  What is the content model of top-element?

thanks,
