I'm not sure why this is needed. As I see it, the html browser would
expand the relative urls as it normally does. If images or other
links that the page refers to are included in the message, why can the
sender generate the absolute URL and include that with the body part
(i.e., Content-Location: http://www.bar.com/~ed/portrait.gif).

Would it be possible to pass the base URL as a separate mail header with
the HTML in a mail message. For example,
Content-Type: text/html
Content-URL: http://www.bar.com
Then all the relative URLs in the bodypart could be expanded by the
receiving mail client. This seems a lot simplier than adding the SGML
catalog idea.
Why not send it as an Message/external-body, with an access-type a la
"anon-ftp" ? That way it looks like we only have to discuss the access-type, in
case we (?) choose for URL-???? a message could like something like:
---------------------------start message----------------------------
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type; Message/external-body;
name="portrait.gif";
site="www.bar.com";
access-type="URL-http"; // or anything else
directory="~/ed";
Content-Type: application/octet-stream
-------------------------end message --------------------------------
