I know somebody asked me about this, and I gave them the solution that
Dave wrote for me, but this one looks even nicer.

Here is what I advise you to do to change psgml variables :

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
(defun custom-xml-behavior() "Sets custom behavior for sgml mode"
  (interactive)
  (setq sgml-indent-data t)
  (setq
   sgml-validate-command "nsgmls -wxml -wno-idref -s %s %s"
   ))

(add-hook 'xml-mode-hook 'custom-xml-behavior)
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

I didn't find any other way to set psgml variables than creating a function.
Listed below is the function that I use :

(defun custom-sgml-behavior() "Sets custom behavior for sgml mode"
  (interactive)
  (setq sgml-indent-data t)
  (setq
   sgml-always-quote-attributes t
   sgml-auto-insert-required-elements t
   sgml-auto-activate-dtd t
   sgml-indent-data t
   sgml-indent-step             2
   sgml-minimize-attributes     "max"
   ;;sgml-minimize-attributes     nil
   sgml-omittag                 t
   sgml-shortag                 t))

(add-hook 'sgml-mode-hook 'custom-sgml-behavior)


Let me know if it helps.
And of course if someone knows a better way to do it, let it be known.


Cheers,
