FYI, some notes on our proposed XML catalog registration stuff.
--- Begin Message --- 
Comments from the RedHat front on XML catalog registration.  Note the
critical issue of the xml-base pkgname being evil.  Otherwise it seems
like our plan is good, though I would like to look at a RH box and see
what they do.

  it does of course, as well as the stylesheets.

  the catalogs are in place for more than 2 Red Hat releases.

   We rely on the catalogs being present with registred DocBook XML Dtd
 and XSLT for all the Gnome2 documentation work. Even scrollkeeper's DTD
is registrated in the XML catalogs

  We delegate into sub catalogs of course for efficiency and better management.
xml-base is a wrong name, it's the name of a W3C XML specification, highly 
confusing. 
  Sub catalogs register public, system, uri, uri rewite, system rewrite,
kind of rules.
  /etc/xml should be part of the core filesystem infrastructure
  /etc/xml/catalog is dynamically augmented/reduced as new XML envs are
      added or removed from the system. Delegates are the usual way to do
      this.

  I suggest you install a Red Hat 8 box to have an idea, and see how we do it.
