  Actually xsltproc (or rather any recent version of the libxml2 library)
systematically check for XML Catalogs rooted in /etc/xml/catalog (contrary
to SGML catalogs this is completely progressive and doesn't harm performances
when there is no catalog to be used). There is also a tool (xmlcatalog) 
which allows to build and maintain such catalogs and we expect to have
then automatically maintained from the packaging systems (RPM, deb, ...)
when new DTDs or XML resources are added to a system.
