The flip side, is that your documents get tied to a particular
directory structure.  This was a real problem for me, when I wished to
edit the same document on Win32 and linux.

I got around it by putting the DTD and style sheets on a web server,
and using their URLs as system IDs, and used a CATALOG to make psgml
find the DTDs.

No idea.
