Could you explain why you disagree?  Why not pass the href into the SAX
EntityResolver w/ publicID=null and systemID=@href?  I can think of
these reasons:

1) Your app may want two different resolutions of the same URI
2) You don't like mixing up XML REC entity resolution w/ the concept of
general URI resolution

If #1 is not the reason, then in #2, having two different resolvers
seems like it would be more complex to write apps since you would need
to at least provide two methods.
