Then the top-level element has to be a linking element, which is not true of most DTDs. But creating your own document is necessary, I think; it may have to be an instance of a DTD that defines the relations among the things pointed to. The other approach I can think of is a MIME type constructed for the purpose. | Or if you don't like links, like this | | <!DOCTYPE yours PUBLIC "http://<that read-only document's DTD" [ | <!ELEMENT yours - - (rod-top-level-element-name)> | <!ENTITY rod PUBLIC "http://<that read-only document's body"> | ]> | <yours> | &rod; | </yours> | | and in either case associate the style sheet with your stub in | whatever way we end up agreeing on. That won't work if the read-only document has a doctype declaration, unless XML allows multiple doctype declarations (or I'm missing something).
