I just had a look again at wdg-html-validator, this time for real :-) The validate and cgi-bin/validate.pl scripts (perhaps even more bits) hardcode paths to /etc/sgml/sgml-data.cat, /etc/sgml/w3c-dtd-xhtml.cat as well as many .dcl/.decl files provided by the w3c-dtd-xhtml and sgml-data packages. These locations are already patched in the Debian package since upstream assumes a different layout. w3c-sgml-lib ships files with (hopefully) the same functionality but in different locations and named differently. The proper way to locate the needed files is probably via /etc/sgml/catalog and not hardcoding them ... that might even add support for new standards automatically. At least for the validate script a new upstream release is available (1.2.3 from 2011 vs 1.2.2 in the package). That's too much work for a quick QA upload.
