  Actually there is already SGML catalogs support (though not well tested).
The more complete solution based on XML Catalogs is coded and will be in the
next releases, the main trouble will be to actually deploy the catalogs
for the various XML related packages, otherwise it works here:

orchis:~/XSLT/tests/docbook/tmp -> head -5 test.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//OASIS/DTD DocBook XML V4.1,2/EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1.2/docbookx.dtd">
<!-- vim:set sts=2 shiftwidth=2: -->
<article>
  <title>test &RMB;</title>
orchis:~/XSLT/tests/docbook/tmp -> xsltproc --noout --nonet ../html/docbook.xsl test.xml 
Resolve: pubID -//OASIS/DTD DocBook XML V4.1,2/EN
Parsing catalog /etc/xml/catalog
Parsing catalog file:///usr/share/xml/docbook/catalog
Trying system delegate file:///usr/share/xml/docbook/catalog
Using rewriting rule http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1.2
test.xml:5: error: Entity 'RMB' not defined
  <title>test &RMB;</title>
                   ^
Catalogs cleanup
orchis:~/XSLT/tests/docbook/tmp -> 

  The is a /etc/xml/catalog Super catalog lookup, with delegates for
/usr/share/xml/docbook/catalog, itself containing a catalog and rewrite rules
for 4.1,2.

  Now if only I had a fixed URI for each stylesheets, I could also 
add them in catalogs and have a completely path independant solution...
