Hrvoje,

while I agree that having such a beast might be helpful in some cases,
I would hate to have this as a default for the following reasons:

 o psgml-html would not promote open standards but instead spread
   usage and acceptance of vendor-specific HTML-dialects.

 o psgml-html syntax checking via `sgml-next-trouble-spot'(C-c C-o)
   would give HTML novices the ill-usion that their document is even
   *good* HTML

Regards,

Adrian
