Yes, it did/does. I wound up edting the dbforms DTD to
reference V4.3 of the docbookx DTD.

I guess I'm surprised that the PUBLIC declaration
doesn't match a catalog entry. I have to admit that
I'm quite new to XML.

Yes, that's what I wound up doing. However, it
requires hardcoding the DTD location - something that
doesn't seem quite right. To make my life easier,
should I use update-xmlcatalog to point to the dbforms
DTD?

xsltproc & XSLT including <OLINK> processing.
