But is the resulting interoperability issue not something that should be
addressed?  Is the purpose of this excercise to create a standard Calalog
format or to create standard Catalogs?  I would have thought both, which
means that you must assume some control over what the catalog entries are
going to be compared against.  If you want to be fully interoperable with
SAX, then it would be appropriate to require URIs to be resolved.
