The variable has existed, but its default value has changed. Try setting 
it to nil.

There is some experimental code hidden away in psgml-debug. It allows 
you to specify the face to use for the content of an element with a 
process instruction (in the DTD):

<?PSGML ELEMENT h1 face=bold >
<?PSGML ELEMENT h2 face=bold-italic >
<?PSGML ELEMENT h3 face=italic >
<?PSGML ELEMENT title face=bold >
<?PSGML ELEMENT em face=italic >
<?PSGML ELEMENT i face=italic >

To enable it you will have to load psgml-debug, or better extract the 
code from psgml-debug and put it somewhere else.
