That's what I have seen till now. And this is a major pain that many tools
(usually not parsers, mostly editors) don't know well about back relative
entity inclusion, like "../mydir/myent.ent" (Adept, Stylus being two of
them). This means I cannot use the same dtd with Adept (used as a PDF
producer) and Omnimark, XSLT (that can use the same, yeah !).

I do agree this is useful, but the catalog is not standard yet, and my
point here is to unify the DTDs among the tools I use.
