John Cowan's done an XML catalogs piece that provides an XML implementation for translating Public identifiers to system identifiers, available at: http://www.ccil.org/~cowan/XML/XCatalog.html The OASIS-Open SGML Open Catalog (SOCAT) document is at: http://www.oasis-open.org/html/a401.htm Unfortunately, I think both of these leave XML in the same broken place it was before, with extra facilities for referencing identifiers. The problem isn't that documents can't reference the tools needed for processing in an intelligent way - the problem is that those references shouldn't be implemented on a document-by-document basis.
