OK. Thanx!

You're suggesting having a separate set of webpages, using the same
layout.xml file, and generating the HTML files in two separate steps?
That's a possibility, but here's something that makes it harder:
I've used <title> members in <tocentry> elements to get TOC entries
that are shorter than the <title> of the webpage (to avoid ugly
linebreaks).
I've also used pointers to external resources, and they must have a
<title>.
Is there a way to localize this <title>? There can be more than one
<title> (according to PSGML. I haven't studied the layout DTD
yet...), but the <title> element inside <tocentry>, has no lang
attribute.
Thanx!
