Catalog files as part of the submission?

[Don Day <dond@us.ibm.com>]

Are catalog files (both text and OASIS XML forms) necessarily part of the DTD/Schema submission for the proposed Committee Draft? If so, I'll add them to the "dtd/schema" package after we update the public identifiers. I do not think they are normative, but I could be convinced to include them. I think they tend to be application-specific and merely encode information that is already in the DTDs. However, it is tremendously useful for them to be present in a distribution so that users can configure their local lookups.
