  first the base URI being different doesn't mean that the composed
resulting URL should be different. second the system identifier for notations
are usually absolute URL to avoid this kind of problems anyway.
  The next sentence says
  "An application may  also be able to detect that notations are duplicate
   through other means. For instance, the URI resulting from combining the
   system identifier and the declaration base URI is the same."

  Understood, but you could use XInclude to replace those entities
with an external customization file. I will look at this anyway.
