# SGML Entity Management
Chapter 1 - Introduction and Scope

This document was written by Manoj Srivastava `mailto:srivasta@debian.org` with contributions from Mark W. Eichin `mailto:eichin@kitten.gen.ma.us` and Adam P. Harris `mailto:aph@debian.org`. This document is part of the `sgml-base` package.

This guideline is intended to be intepreted as SGML sub-policy (not official policy). While this document does not carry the weight of official policy, it is sufficient basis for the submission of bugs against a package. This may change at a latter date.

Entity Management is generally left up to the implementation, and hence there are no extant Standards that cover this. However, lack of an established convention would prevent different segments of the SGML subsystem from co-operating with each other, hence it is important that a policy be established so that SGML package maintainers may depend on other parts of the system behaving consistently.
