do you have *any* system which lets you do mixed CJK/roman well?

DTD issues are orthogonal to font issues. If you design your own DTD,
it doesn't help with the CJK+roman issue.

Forgive my cheek, but if you know enough SGML/XML to design your own DTD,
I am surprised you find the language in the pizza chef hard to follow?
It's all fairly standard stuff from the DTD world.

Wait until you get into schemas. Then your head really starts to go
round and round :-}
