They aren't mentioned. This was discovered while I was trying to find
a solution for the "is not a function name" XML entity problem.
Also, some of the entity-related files in the DTD directory (and
perhaps in the ents directory) might be "cruft". I never bothered to
clean everything up (sorry about that!). I wanted to get to the
solution...!

Correct.

No, both are not needed. I point SGML_CATALOG_FILES at 'catalog'
(my modified version) and the jade dsssl 'catalog'.
If you wish to see how this is setup for the LDP (the document
publishing script), grab the following:
http://tldp.org/authors/tools/ldp_mk
With this script I can publish all (LDP) supported DTDs (XML or SGML).
Email w/any questions.
