You are looking for something like how feature-supported.sgml is
handled after its automatic generation, except that in this case you
just create a new sgml file which has the definition data you want to
load, define it with <!ENTITY blah SYSTEM "blah.sgml">, and then load
it using something like an entity &blah; in the CREATE or ALTER TABLE
docs. That's a bit of refactoring though, but you could shape it by
putting all those lower-level definitions in a subdirectory like
sgml/defs or such, avoiding any duplication in those definitions.
