Re: [xml-dev] CATALOGs versus RDDL

/ Rick Jelliffe <ricko@allette.com.au> was heard to say:

I've thought about this more than once. My current position is that
catalog resolution comes first. If what you get back after resolution
is an RDDL document, you use that.

I was interested in integrating RDDL into the catalog classes, but the
problem is that the resolvers (URI and entity) don't know what *kind* of
thing they're supposed to be getting, they just have identifiers.
