 We can put trademark.ent doc/share/sgml and the translators can translate
 &tm-attrib.*; with overriding entities.  It is a hard job for the translation
 teams to maintain duplicate copies of the file since, for example, when a new
 trademark is added, they have to merge it (this is the reason why I split
 en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/contributors/article.sgml recently).  To override
 entities which need to be translated, we can avoid such situation.

 I think entities should be shared with the localized docs as much as possible,
 and if it can be shared, it should not be in en_US.ISO8859-1/share/sgml.
