Hmm, I have sgmls installed on my system, and that uses a catalog file,
which contains, among others, the line:
-- $Id: catalog,v 1.1 1994/10/07 21:35:07 connolly Exp $ --
It also lists "-//IETF//DTD HTML 3.0//EN" as the most general way to
refer to level 3 html. The only reason I include "-//IETF//DTD HTML 3.0//EN"
or "-//IETF//DTD HTML Strict//EN//3.0" is to validate my documents with
sgmls.
Now, I do not know whether IETF owns an HTML 3.0 DTD, but if
"-//IETF//DTD HTML 3.0//EN" is not a correct way to refer to that DTD,
then why is it listed in the sgmls catalogue file?
