So
  1) Use any application-specific over-riding catalog (e.g. a cache)
  2) Use any catalog that comes with document
  3) Use any document hints (e.g. schema location):
  4) Use a RDDL document at namespace URI
  5) Use any resource at the namespace URI (if it is the resource you are looking for)
  6) Use any built-in default catalog
  7) Report to the user or use some default behaviour

Is that more like the policy that users would expect a RDDL- and CATALOG-
aware application to follow?
