That's where they originally came from, though, I'm pretty sure.
When I did a psgml update in early 2000, I noticed that many of the
psgml files had Ben Wing's fingerprints on them. It might help to ask
him. At that time, some of the DTDs were way out of date, so I did some
work on updating them, and threw a few new ones in, based on an informal
unscientific poll:

I now think that that was a mistake.
Rather than make an update, why don't you split it out as a
separate
package? That way the XEmacs package can correspond more closely to
the upstream.
I think we should get out of the business of supplying DTDs entirely.
Many people have perfectly good sets of DTDs already and don't need us
supplying old ones. We should probably provide pointers to places where
popular DTDs can be acquired, and possibly package up only the HTML DTDs
in a separate package. That would help us avoid complaints like this
one:
