I guess your post is missing the end... From what I can see so far:
You must declare your version of 'Common.attrib' before you reference the
XHTML DTD.
An entity declaration is ignore, if the entity already exist. So in order to
'override' something from the original DTD, you must make your declarations
before referencing it.
On a side note: I used the Core.extra.attrib entity for custom attributes
shared by all elements. As this is empty by default, you won't have to
'copy'n modify' stuff from the DTD. And I guess that's the preferred and
intended way to do this.
