Wim,
   To use a public entity set, you must include a declaration such as the 
one in your message within the DTD (either in the external subset or the 
internal subset). The form of declaration you've shown, with a public 
identifier but no system identifier, is valid in SGML; in XML a system 
identifier is required. The system identifier can be empty as in:

<!ENTITY % ISOlat1 PUBLIC "ISO 8879:1986//ENTITIES Added Latin 1//EN//XML" "">

You can definitely use the Entities element in the application definition 
(usually in structapps.fm) to associate a file with a public identifier, or 
to specify search paths for relative filenames within a system identifier. 
You don't need to do so for the 19 ISO public entity sets, since FM 
recognizes their public identifiers.
