You are right, the problem is that not all RELAX NG tools are supporting
XML catalogs when dereferencing included resources.

You can reference copies stored on docbook.org server:

http://www.docbook.org/xml/5.0CR4/rng/docbook.rnc

(there will be "5.0" instead "5.0CR4" once final version of DocBook 5 is
ready).

Good idea. I will do something for a next release of HOWTO which I plan
to publish after DocBook V5.0CR5 is out.
