I think that's an independent issue.  If you are in an environment that
has a policy of using XML catalogs for URI remapping in XML-related
contexts, then it would make sense to use them for remapping both URIs
occuring in include/externalRef in schemas and URIs occurring in
locating files.  However I don't see any need to explicitly couple
locating files to catalogs.  My personal opinion is that, although XML
catalogs are an appropriate solution to the problem of publicId-to-URI
mapping, using XML catalogs to perform URI-to-URI mapping is an
XML-specific solution to a non-XML-specific problem.
