OK, I've caught up with Steve Baur (his phone went out of service due
to a billing dispute, which the phone company won ... some things are
cross-cultural, eh?)
(1) I was wrong, Steve _did_ add the DTDs. He feels, as I do, that we
really do need to supply HTML DTDs, and independently suggested that
we add infrastructure (either to PSGML or separately) to give users
better support in configuring PSGML to point at other catalogs and
libraries.

(2) Steve backs me up on this. Data-only packages should work.
However, we might want to have some kind of customizable list of
available catalogs, and the XEmacs Deprecated DTD Catalog should
register itself to that (a trivial library).
