And with DTD XHTML 1.0 setup... Yes.

In some cases packager can prefer abort of build with message 
about not installed Catalogs and DTDs, instead network download.

Also option '--nonet' for xmllint can signal to document writers 
about incorrect Catalog setup.

In our document project we use '--nonet' for all invocation of 
xsltproc, but can't use it for xmllint.

Sorry for bad English :(

IMHO, adding parameter "--xsltproc-extraparams=''" and using this 
value in Makefiles:
$(bindir)/xsltproc $(xsltproc-extraparams) --html ...
could be useful for configure build docs with '--nonet'.
