This was done by design. The public identifier in our documents is _not_
meant to be used for downloading a DTD through a network.
In pkgsrc, various catalog files, managed by xmlcatmgr, are responsible
for maintaining a mapping from this identifier to the actual local DTD
file.

I do not remember the exact reason hrs@ introduced this separate XML
URL namespace.
