Thanks Norman for the explanations! Much appreciated.

Yes, I agree, the tools should be fixed if they don't follow the spec. So if I 
understand you right, you would consider that behavior in xmlcatalog as a bug, 
right? Is this behavior even in sync with the spec?

I can open a bug for xmlcatalog once you can confirm that.

Thanks!
