I think its worth pointing out in Lennart's defence that this option is
there, and the welcome screen is there to ensure that the new user sets
the necessary options necessary to regulate nxhtml's workings - it's not
a trivial package. AFAIK the welcome screen has a well flagged "setup"
button and then will not appear again after setting up the required
usage the first time.

I'd also like to add it's one of the best packages out there for anyone
using mix-mode files (e.g a php file containing xhtml, php, js etc)
. The nxml completion works very well. The different mode hiliting is
good. The auto switch between language specific minor modes as you
cursor around is excellent. I had trouble recently with it but it seems
the bugs are pretty much ironed out now.

nxhtml and org-mode are my two main utility packages now.
