sgml-default-doctype-name

I'm confused by this variable.  The documentation indicates that if no
DOCTYPE is specified then a DOCTYPE of the form

<!DOCTYPE name SYSTEM>

will be used, where "name" above is the value from
sgml-default-doctype-name.  Well, I've set this to "html", but when
parsing it fails with "External entity html not found".  If I manually add

<!DOCTYPE html SYSTEM>

and reparse, everything is fine.  So I don't think it's something with how
my system is setup for the catalog files or anything.  So, why doesn't
this work?

That sounds strange (unbelievable) for me:

  "name" above is not a doctype name. It would be very strange
  if it were specified by "sgml-default-doctype-name".
  I associate "doctype-name" more with the public or system identifier
  of the "doctype".

I think we have a case of case sensitivity that is not properly 
documented (sgml-parent-document is another). You will have to set it 
to "HTML".

"Smart" quotes and dashes in PSGML

I write (X)HTML documents in Emacs using PSGML mode. At the moment,
whenever I've finished a document I do various search-and-replaces to
get proper punctuation marks, such as replacing ' with &rsquo;, -- with
&ndash;, --- with &mdash;, and " with either &ldquo; or &rdquo;. I was
wondering whether anyone had written a function which would do that
automatically as I type, rather like lots of word processors do, but
which would not touch anything within a tag (such as the quote marks
around attribute values, or the comment markers)?

TIA, Darren
