Re: [xml-dev] Compelling use case for XML Catalogs?

[Mike Sokolov <sokolov@ifactory.com>]

The examples that have been given provide compelling reasons to map URLs 
in XML files to local resources.  They don't really explain why XML 
Catalogs is a good way to do that, nor do they contrast it with any 
other approach to the same problem.   I'd be interested in that, too, 
having dealt with this problem (validating XHTML, resolving DTD 
locations to local resources, ignoring DTDs, etc) in a variety of ways, 
but never using XML catalogs.
