I tried wml --includefile=foobar.wml over my SGML sources (actually XML) and, 
yes, it works fine. So does M4 if you need a processing not available in your 
SGML environment :-)

The symbols used by WML could lead to problems. What if you have a line 
beginning with '#' in your SGML source?

Well, if they refuse elements which do not belong to the DTD, what will be 
left to WML?
