The inability of XML Catalog to check for the presence of correct URLs seems like a significant limitation.

XML Catalog only works if: 

    - you have pre-knowledge of exactly what URLs will
      be present in the XML (XSLT, XSD, RNG, SVG, etc.) 
      documents that you receive/process

     - the XML documents will always contain the correct 
       URL; there will never be any accidental or malicious
       alteration of URLs

Yes?
