On using xxml.el for syntax highlighting

Hi all,

I use xxml.el for syntax highlighting/fontification like so:

; xxml.el extras
(autoload 'xxml-mode-routine "xxml")
(add-hook 'sgml-mode-hook 'xxml-mode-routine)
(add-hook 'xml-mode-hook 'xxml-mode-routine)

As I understand it, xxml.el just uses standard font-lock faces for
highlighting and works independently of psgml's sgml-markup-faces. Is
that correct? In which case, I am assuming that the following part of my
.emacs is redundant and can be commented out:
   
; create faces to assign to markup categories

(make-face 'sgml-comment-face)
(make-face 'sgml-start-tag-face)
(make-face 'sgml-end-tag-face)
(make-face 'sgml-entity-face)
(make-face 'sgml-doctype-face) ; DOCTYPE data
(make-face 'sgml-ignored-face) ; data ignored by PSGML
(make-face 'sgml-ms-start-face) ; marked sections start
(make-face 'sgml-ms-end-face) ; end of marked section
(make-face 'sgml-pi-face) ; processing instructions
(make-face 'sgml-sgml-face) ; the SGML declaration
(make-face 'sgml-shortref-face) ; short references

; assign faces to markup categories

(setq sgml-markup-faces '
  (
  (comment . sgml-comment-face)
  (start-tag . sgml-start-tag-face)
  (end-tag . sgml-end-tag-face)
  (entity . sgml-entity-face)
  (doctype . sgml-doctype-face)
  (ignored . sgml-ignored-face)
  (ms-start . sgml-ms-start-face)
  (ms-end . sgml-ms-end-face)
  (pi . sgml-pi-face)
  (sgml . sgml-sgml-face)
  (shortref . sgml-shortref-face)
  ))

; tell PSGML to pay attention to face settings
(setq sgml-set-face t)

Is that correct? That is, can I just remove the above from my .emacs?

TIA, Darren
