I don't think that's the right way to go. By hardwiring references to associated resources into the document instance itself you make it impossible to reuse an existing doc with a different collection of resources without modifying the doc, or using some XML processor specific override mechanism (eg. a SAX entity resolver). I'm thinking of something more along the lines of the Decorator Pattern ... which is what I was groping towards here, http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/200101/msg00025.html > Either way, I'm enormously happy to see this activity underway.
