Its not a problem Karsten. Its the way psgml is supposed to work?

so address that problem? Unrelated to finding the schema?

No. I keep saying (OK once :-) that plain text diffs on xml are 
... not right.

Thats a project weakness. Nothing to do with schema location.

The error is using the wrong tools.
I edit pretty large xml files in emacs quite a lot.
I also use nxml-mode with xml-mode and believe me
hacking that 4 liner to the bottom of the file
is the easier option.
  If you are bothered by the indents,
fix the elisp for sgml-mode,
 or ask on psmgl-list for Lennart to do it!
