Yes, I'm aware of this case. The question is whether someone really 
specifies DOCTYPE this way. When I saw DocBook documents without FPI 
they usually referred directly to local copy of DTD using file:/// URL 
or relative URL.

Anyway I think that default catalog file which ships with DocBook should 
  be convenient for users and should work for as many combinations of 
systemId + publicId presented in DOCTYPE as possible (as long as these 
systemIds and publicIds can be considered as identifiers for given 
DocBook version).

In this light adding entry for systemId seems to cover more cases than 
adding just prefer="public". I suggested adding prefer="public" because 
I always use FPI in !DOCTYPE, but of course this might not be case for 
other DocBook users.
