This is of course "degenerate" UTF-8. You'll need the XHTML DTD and a
couple of entity definition files (at least, they're not in v1.18 of
the XEmacs PSGML package):
http://web3.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd
http://web3.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml-lat1.ent
http://web3.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml-special.ent
http://web3.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml-symbol.ent
The problem is in the `xml:lang' attribute of the `html' element. The
error occurs when parsing (C-c C-p) the DTD.
Which reminds me; until I set up the catalogs correctly, PSGML
silently substituted the HTML 3.2 DTD for XHTML 1.0. It would be nice
if PSGML warned about this situation.

This surprised me, because I submitted those files as part of the patch
to bring the XEmacs PSGML package up to date. Indeed, fetching
psgml-1.18-pkg.tar.gz from the package download site, I see this:
% tar tzf psgml-1.18-pkg.tar.gz
pkginfo/MANIFEST.psgml

It seems that something is wrong with your PSGML installation.
The problem is in the `xml:lang' attribute of the `html'
element. The
error occurs when parsing (C-c C-p) the DTD.
I have version 1.19 of the XEmacs PSGML package installed, but it has no
trouble with your example. After parsing the prolog (C-c C-p), I can do
a "next trouble spot" (C-c C-o), and it goes to the end and reports
"Ok".
Which reminds me; until I set up the catalogs correctly, PSGML
silently substituted the HTML 3.2 DTD for XHTML 1.0. It would be nice
if PSGML warned about this situation.
I can't get that to happen. How did you do it? What was wrong with the
CATALOG? I see no errors in it that would cause this behavior.

This looks like my bad.
I thought my 21.1 (email environment) and 21.2 (where I was using
PSGML) package hierarchies were the same, but they're not. I had set
things up to automatically revert to the common environment
(maintained via package-user-interface) after testing new package
stuff (installed into a separate hierarchy), but obviously that is not
working correctly, and I've been running with old packages in 21.2 for
a couple of months now.

Try removing the XHTML entries from the catalog. It seems that the
version of PSGML I have installed simply substitutes its default
version of the DTD for short names where the full public ID can't be
matched in the catalog.
