I have sometimes made a local copy of the DTD and changed the 
URI, often
I just allow the DTD to be fetched from its remote location.

I recognize that some people need the catalog facility, but I've never
felt a compelling need for it in my own work.


Its of most use when dealing with larger schema Mike, such as docbook.
The download time is a real nuisance, hence the need for catalogs.
Modifying (very roughly) ten files with each update of a suite of
stylesheets is a pain.
  The catalog provides the perfect answer.

The other reason is to enable sharing files without having to 
mod them each time the file is passed over.

provides the Walsh rationale, which made sense to me.
Look like Arbortext have taken it down.
