I was talking about a catalog to reference stylesheets. That's what I
understood from John's question. 

I've never seen such a catalog for stylesheets but only for DTDs. From
other parsers (mainly written in Java), I've seen some concern on
making them able to read catalogs for DTDs, to ease

Thanks for the reminder. I was looking for this RFC number, but
couldn't find it here.

I wouldn't loose my time discussing with you on that subject :o) I
would be wrong to discuss libxslt implementation or any of those
specs, since it's been some time I've read them and I might be making
some mistake based on what happens with other tools.
