Not quite.

------------------- Reason -------------------
RoQA; superseded by w3c-sgml-lib
----------------------------------------------

That’s not entirely true, though:

     * [22]#826217 [n|  |  ] [[23]w3c-sgml-lib] [24]w3c-sgml-lib: XHTML 1.1
       files missing
       Reported by: [25]Thorsten Glaser <tg at mirbsd.de>; Date: Fri, 3 Jun
       2016 11:21:02 UTC; Severity: normal; Filed 5 years and 109 days ago;
       Modified 5 years and 109 days ago;

It probably contains the ones for 1.0, but I found w3c-sgml-lib to
not be sufficient in many ways and now use local files only… which
means validating involves copying the file, changing the http link
in the DOCTYPE with a local file:// link, then validating… working
but suboptimal.
