Right, it's standard in the newer libxml2s.

Hmm, this could easily be debated some more, though I hope it won't be.
The LSB spec has a section that covers SGML, and the current idea on the
table is to use that section, s/SGML/XML/, and call that the XML
addendum. If we can ever get a consensus on that, it will be a
standard.
libxml2 and libxslt make use of it in their stable releases. GNOME 2's
alpha releases make use of it, and an XML catalog WILL be required for
GNOME2.
For what it's worth, I sent something tot he list about this a few weeks
ago, which met with only silence. :-(
