Same results.

Under these conditions you will get the error:

  > nsgmls -wxml -wall -gues /usr/lib/sgml/declaration/xml.dcl qaml-faq.xml 
  nsgmls:/usr/lib/sgml/declaration/xml.dcl:1:W: SGML declaration was not implied
  > onsgmls -wxml -wall -gues /usr/lib/sgml/declaration/xml.dcl qaml-faq.xml 
  onsgmls:/usr/lib/sgml/declaration/xml.dcl:1:W: SGML declaration was not implied

This is actually legitimate.  Not using an implicit declaration is
actually an error in XML!  Go figure.

You have two alternatives:

1) Run nsgmls or onsgmls without -wxml

  > nsgmls -wall -gues /usr/lib/sgml/declaration/xml.dcl qaml-faq.xml 
  > onsgmls -wall -gues /usr/lib/sgml/declaration/xml.dcl qaml-faq.xml 

2) Run onsgmls given a DTD that has the proper DTDDECL defined in the
SGML catalog:

  > onsgmls -wxml -wall -gues qaml-faq.xml 

Sorry.  That's the way the standard works.  This is not an OpenSP or
SP bug.

I think it's kinda dodgy that psgml mode doesn't do the right thing,
however.  On the validation step, I think, psgml should probably just
not use -wxml (-wall is ok though).  Someone wanna file a psgml bug on
that?
