  Hum,
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/entity/spec-2001-08-06.html#s.nextcatalog
 having multiple nextCatalog is possible, and makes sense, but having
the same catalog referenced mutiple time is not useful. It is not an error
but it is useless. That could be checked within xmlcatalog, right, but
it seems to me that the addition should not be made blindly either.
