Catalog data for XML versions of ISO character-entity sets

I've opened bug 383507 against the xml-core package.

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=383507

The bug relates to the fact that the XML versions of the ISO
8879:1986 character-entity sets are officially maintained by the
W3 with the canonical base URI for them being:

http://www.w3.org/2003/entities/iso8879/

The xml-core package adds data to the Debian XML and SGML catalog
systems for resolving the FPI for those character-entity sets, but
adds no data for resolving the canonical system ID for them.

Some mechanisms for resolving URIs using catalogs are configured
by default to prefer system IDs -- for example, the Apache XML
Commons Resolver (libxml-commons-resolver1.1-java package); see
the /etc/xml/resolver/CatalogManager.properties file.

So when you use the XML Commons Resolver on a Debian system with a
XML/XSL file that references the ISO 8879:1986 character-entity
sets using their FPIs and the official www.w3.org URI as a system
ID, the resolver checks the system ID, and finding no mapping for
it in the Debian catalog system, initiates a remote HTTP request
to the www.w3.org site to retrieve the entity files.

To prevent that, the package should add data for resolving the
system ID using the base URL above.

Hi Michael. I'm currently working on an update to the sgml-data file,
that will fix both of your bug reports. Because it is a larger update,
it will probably need some time to finish. So this is just a ping, that
someone is working on it

CCed you, because of the age of your mail

Regards, Daniel
