After banging my head on this a bit more, I finally found a solution
on Usenet. I 've added the following to $HOME/.xemacs/init.el :
(setq sgml-catalog-files
(append '( "/usr/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/etc/psgml/CATALOG ")))
That is apparently the location where the DTDs are defined. Why this
isn 't set as per default I don 't know. In any case, the html-mode
worked again after this change.
Cheerio,
Thomas
