It is loading SGML mode which may be the problem. I sure don't
understang why since .xml files load up the xml mode and highlight just
fine.

From .emacs file

(add-to-list 'load-path "/home/maxwell/elisp/psgml-1.2.1/")
(autoload 'sgml-mode "psgml" "Major mode to edit SGML files." t)
(autoload 'xml-mode "psgml" "Major mode to edit XML files." t)

(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.xml\\'" . xml-mode))
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.html\\'" . xml-mode))
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.sgml\\'" . sgml-mode))

My XML file is test.html. psgml parsed the file fine without the catalog
file stuff which I don't really understand.

I'm using a made up file based on docbook since it worked.

$ cat /home/maxwell/dtds/xhtml1/xhtml1.cat
  -- like docbook catalog file --
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "xhtml1-strict.dtd"
PUBLIC "-//W3C//ENTITIES Latin 1 for XHTML//EN" "xhtml-lat1.ent"
PUBLIC "-//W3C//ENTITIES Symbols for XHTML//EN" "xhtml-symbol.ent"
PUBLIC "-//W3C//ENTITIES Special for XHTML//EN" "xhtml-special.ent"

Maybe this will help.
