Idea for managing EDDs and DTDs

[eric.dunn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

After talk of maintaining data in version control systems, I began to (once
again) wonder about the best methods to maintain DTDs and EDDs.

Has anybody developed an SGML application for round-tripping EDDs to and from
SGML? Seems to me an EDD saved in SGML form would be perfect for use in a
version control system.

I suppose (and I venture into conjecture as my knowledge of such things is what
I glean from the lists) that the text only SGML would allow for the tracking of
branches and multiple versions in systems such as CVS. This would probably
enable multiple EDDs to be maintained and retain common content.

Am I thinking straight or do I not have a clue?

Anybody else have any thoughts?
