/ Jirka Kosek <> was heard to say:

| Cool. Actually Xerces provides one feature that can be used to map schemas
| to namepaces. You can (mis)use catalog file to map namespace URI to XSD
| schema:
|
| <uri name="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"; uri="xsd/docbook.xsd"/>
|
| The problem is that this is working only if you will use  Xerces's
| XMLCatalogResolver as an implementation of entity resolver. However this
| change can't be done by Java property, you must change resolver
| programatically. So the sad conclusion is, that this is completely useless
| feature for normal users.

Sigh. I think I'm having a fight about this on the Apache bugzilla:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESJ-1104

Any attempt on my part to summarize would require cursing, so I won't
bother :-)
