I'm guessing it was most recently updated with a version of psgml prior to what's installed in my XEmacs (1.3.1, apparently). The latest available version of XAE appears to be labeled a "beta" version.  Do you believe this package is still viable?

XAE 1.0beta8 is distributed with PSGML 1.2.4, which includes psgml-maint.el,
which defines the psgml-compile-files function.  XAE's lisp/xae.el file
defines the xae-compile-psgml function, which loads psgml-maint.el and
then calls psgml-compile-files (twice).

If you've got a newer version of PSGML that doesn't include
psgml-maint.el, you could either build XAE with its bundled version (by
making sure that XAE's psgml directory occurs before XEmacs' in
load-path) or try to build it with XEmacs' bundled version (by modifying
the definition of xae-compile-psgml to work with PSGML 1.3.1).
