It's true that psgml itself doesn't catch this; however, it does provide a means of calling an external parser (C-c C-v). You can set this parser using the variable sgml-validate-command - in my case, I use "nsgmls -s %s %s" (the default) for SGML files, and for XML files I use "nsgmls -wxml -s %s %s". You could also use this variable to do application-level validation. For example, you might want to check that the target of an IDREF attribute is of a particular type. You could do that using a DSSSL processor with a style sheet that checks for errors. (Although I've given up trying to write a stylesheet that works with the -wxml flag; instead I validate the XML restrictions seperately.) -- xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
