## Modifications to W3C DTDs
14+
15+
The W3C DTDs distributed with this software have been modified so the "Character
16+
mnemonic entities" section of the DTDs was replaced with the HTML5 entities, for
17+
better interoperability of XHTML 1.x and 5.
18+
19+
Also, the relative URLs used to reference DTD modules have been absolutized as
20+
needed, so they can be used with different base URLs. For context, see
21+
https://www.w3.org/MarkUp/2009/xhtml11-issues-20090525.html#ssec4
