Its of most use when dealing with larger schema Mike, such as docbook. The download time is a real nuisance, hence the need for catalogs. Modifying (very roughly) ten files with each update of a suite of stylesheets is a pain. The catalog provides the perfect answer. The other reason is to enable sharing files without having to mod them each time the file is passed over. http://www.arbortext.com/Think_Tank/XML_Resources/Issue_Three/issue_three.ht ml provides the Walsh rationale, which made sense to me. Look like Arbortext have taken it down. regards DaveP - NOTICE: The information contained in this email and any attachments is confidential and may be legally privileged.
