My nxml-mode installation keeps emacs mode and specifically docbook related files (*.rnc -> "RELAG NG compact syntax") here:

    /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/nxml-mode/schema/

So you are telling us, you took files from /usr/share/xml/docbook/schema/rng/5.0CR3/
and made them available to emacs nxml-mode, are you?

    JMT> Works like a charm, 

Does that mean "regarding to editing in nxml-mode" or "regarding to creating HTML or PDF"?

Do you really make use of new features in nxml-mode,
i.e. features of 5.0, that were not already available in 4.2?

I guess every new feature will unvalidate the document,
as long as the new and right *.rnc files are not properly made available to nxml-mode.

And how that is carried out -- maybe there is somebody else to tell us how to do that,
I mean to give us a recipe of "how to upgrade docbook-xml properly w.r.t. nxml-mode -> /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/nxml-mode/schema/*.rnc".

Actually I would like to see,
that the *.rnc files in /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/nxml-mode/schema/ get removed
and nxml-mode gets set up to make use of the *.rnc files in /usr/share/xml/docbook/schema/rng/5.0CR3/ or whatever new or old version one wants to make use of.

Obviously your paths may vary,
mine are from a mixture of SUSE 10.1 through 10.3alpha...
and I actually assume, they are file system standard compliant, but who knows ...
