Note that psgml does NOT use font-lock for its syntax highlighting.
This is because it is difficult to design regular expressions that do
the right thing: with the right SGML declaration, you can tell the
system to use different characters instead of "<" and ">", for
example.

But I've been using xxml.el for XML sources.  I think xxml.el uses
font-lock.  (But I haven't looked.)  xxml.el works for HTML, too.  So
I think as long as your SGML files use the normal pointy brackets
syntax and the SGML declaration doesn't do weird things, you should
be fine.
