Erm.  I think you might be right.  It feels like
/usr/share/sgml/xhtml/1.0 etc. is where it should go.  If you can provide a
symlink in /usr/share/sgml/html/xml/1.0/xhtml/... that might be
helpful to users using the current location of the 1.0 stuff.

See /usr/share/doc/sgml-base-doc/sgml_layout.*, section 2.

sgml-catalog-check.pl from sgml-data pkg will do this for you.

Just let me know when it's almost ready, and I'll pull xhtml1.0 from
sgml-data.  Then you do a verioned conflict with the prior versions
of sgml-data.  Ok?  Let me know.

I would say use whatever seems correct and file a bug on the incorrect
pkgs to get them renamed.
