Maybe it's a contradiction in terms for you, but as I said, it's the standard
case for me. The DTD exists, but I simply don't have it.
And I really mean SGML, not just XML.
The fact that sgml-mode doesn't even try to use a DTD is not a feature.
But the fact that it tries to be useful even in the absence of a DTD is.
Based on Dave's comments, I gather that psgml-mode now has a more
"graceful degradation" when the DTD is missing, so this might all
be a non-issue.
