Since the word 'catalog' doesn't even appears from the spec, I am wondering
how you can feel so positive about making such an assertion. This is 
definitely not specified ! In the case of HTTP URI, caching is permitted
(since there is no way in this mechanism to disable caching), and at
that level a catalog implementing an HTTP cache mechanism sounds
perfectly adequate IMHO.

In the case of the libxml/libxslt implementation if a catalog is specified
this will go though the URI resolver processing and catalog checking
will occur.

More precisely this is an URI-Reference, with all the associated semantic
inherited from RFC2396. 

So to answer John Fleck, yes catalogs will be taken into account by
libxslt when doing the resolution.
