When I did a psgml update in early 2000, I noticed that many of the

work on updating them, and threw a few new ones in, based on an informal

I now think that that was a mistake.
Ah, thanks for the info.

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:

Yes, I kind of like this, though I have a feeling the package system
wouldn't be too happy with a DTD-only package.
Would we need to have some dummy .el's, or (sh|c)ould psgml-html.el
(which is not part of the upstream psgml) be moved there as well?
Maybe HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0 (updated to the new W3C recommendation,
2nd ed.) would be enough, and g'bye to all others?
