The solution is to define tables (etc.) as base architectures, and
then to map specific DTDs using architectural forms, something like
this:

<?ArcBase xmlTable>

[notation and entity declarations omitted]

<!ELEMENT table (tr+)>
<!ATTLIST table
xmlTable #FIXED "xmlTable">

<!ELEMENT tr (tc+)>
<!ATTLIST tr
xmlTable #FIXED "xmlTableRow">

<!ELEMENT tc (#PCDATA)>
<!ATTLIST tc
xmlTable #FIXED "xmlTableCell">

Presto -- no element-type-name collisions!

All the best,

David
