Yep, that too is why I use catalogs when validating and now also when transforming XML. Large schemas like DocBook can take around 30 seconds to download here, and much longer when there's some network congestion or other hang. Validation with xmllint using catalogs takes one or two seconds instead. The Apache resolver I use for transformations with Saxon brings my DocBook transformation from ~30 (remote DTD) down to ~7 (local one) seconds, but I think it could and should be much faster. I didn't succeed in completely keeping it from accessing the net; did you?. Modifying (very roughly) ten files with each update of a suite of stylesheets is a pain. Yes, and modifying tens of source files by hand is a pain as well. The catalog provides the perfect answer. Another reason for catalogs can be when one is working offline, eg with a laptop. The other reason is to enable sharing files without having to mod them each time the file is passed over. Yep ... BTW: Should the Apache resolver work with Saxon 7.3.1(+)?
