Sorry it took so long to reply; I haven't gotten around to checking this
until now.  I tried setting sgml-indent-data to nil, but that seemed to
disable all PCDATA formatting, which is pretty much everything I need to
autoformat.  

Oh well.  Thanks anyway.  I'll just have to study up on
elisp and try to fix the problem myself.  Does anyone know if PSGML is
still actively developed?  It looks like there hasn't been a release
since October of last year.

Thanks,
John
