XHTML 1.0 is in sgml-data. You are saying it's an outdated version
and should be updated?
As for XHTML 1.1, see bugs 139058 (WNPP) and the improperly closed
89217. I am not willing to add additional large complex DTDs into
sgml-data. XHTML should be packaged separately; in fact, I would
prefer if someone would do this, taking both XHTML 1.0 and XHTML 1.1
so I can remove XHTML 1.0 from sgml-data.
As for SVG, is it small and simple enough that it's silly to package
it separately? I guess so. If it should be in sgml-data, please file
a wishlist on sgml-data requesting it be added; if it should be it's
own package, file a request as appropriate on WNPP (reportbug can help
with WNPP requests).
We really do need a volunteer to package XHTML. If no one volunteers,
I can do it, but I'm not a good candidate since I don't use XHTML.
OTOH, DTD packages are damn easy to maintain and change infrequently,
and I have a lot of experience with them.

SVG is indeed rather small and won't take long. XHTML 1.1, I can't
say.

Nice. Let me know any other things you find in my packages (esp
sgml-data) which could be better. Generally filing bugs is fine, but
in the issue you raise here, I'm glad you asked in email first...
