I have XML that refers to ENTITY definitions externally, how do I apply a namespace to the ENTITIES?
To clarify, I'm referring to my ENTITY defintions like this
<!DOCTYPE Views SYSTEM 'common/XML/DTD_any.dtd' [
<!ENTITY % common_ent SYSTEM 'common.ent'>
%common_ent;
]>

Can I namespace them from my XML file or from the ENTITY file?

DTDs do not recognize namespaces.

You can hard-code in the DTD the "prefix:" before
element names, but it's not really using namespaces.

What about from the XML: Is there any way to namespace the entire external file from the XML file?

No.

Namespaces declarations (xmlns=) are scoped to elements, but the
DTD is inserted into the XML before the root element, so there is
no chance.

DTDs and namespaces are opposing technologies.
