|   "It would be nice if <nextCatalog> entries in XML Catalog files

|   point to TR9401 catalogs.
|
|   Issue 23 in http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/entity/issues.html
|   indicates that support for this is allowed"

| Can you comment on the expected processing ? Is the TR9401 catalog
| remapped to an XML catalog internally ? For me the structures are
| completely different for both, they really have different
| processing model, I find this a curious a-posteriori change to
| the specification.

We worked really hard to give XML Catalogs the same semantics as
TR9401 catalogs. What structures seem different to you? (Aside from
the obvious issue of syntax and the addition of the new "uri" elements
in XML Catalogs.)

I'm pretty confident that I implemented them with exactly the same
code base. I have a loader class that transforms either catalog format
into an internal representation and that representation is used for
processing.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
