And Norm's writeup (screwed by Suns processing of it :-)
It's worth a read... and for reference.

declaration: As those of you monitoring the oft dormant irc channel
may have realised, I'm becoming an avid xml catalog fan.

I'm going to do some more write-up on it soon.... Stopping smoking
is taking most of my attention recently.

I've now moved all my xslt (Saxon) and xml validation to 
a catalog based application from Daniel, xmllint (daft name but it works :-)
which is proving really valuable in terms of time saving.

Do try it, it makes me smile!
