I am not familiar with XBEL, but reading over its DTD it does not seem to define general entities, so in this case you could just parse with :entity-resolver (lambda (p s) (make-concatenated-stream)) which pretends that the external subset and all external entities are empty.

Ok. Thank you.

Should I regard the proposals I'd mentioned as their being all wholly on me, then?
