   But doesn't the SGML statements have to occur within a DOCTYPE?
   I stand corrected if I overlooked something, but I get an error
   if I attempt to place SGML statements in the XML without including
   them in the internal subset of a DOCTYPE.

They are XML statements not SGML ones ('cause wer're doing XML on this list)
They don't have to be in the local subset they can be in external
entities that our reference using SYSTEM (or PUBLIC) in either the
<!DOCTYPE or <!ENTITY declarations. (If they _had_ to be in the local
subset then it wouldn't be a subset, it would be the whole DTD!

You can't place them in the main body of the XML document though.
