XML Catalogs can remap the URL to a local file, so the 'net issue
isn't really an issue.

No problem. It still needs quite a bit of cleanup/clarification, anyway.

Nope. The /etc/xml/tei-p4.xml catalog is written once, at installation, based on
config info in the maintainer (postinst, etc.) scripts.
That catalog file shouldn't be touched by any other packages, so not to worry.
Each package gets its own 'Package Catalog', named /etc/xml/$package.xml, to which
lookups in the Root Catalog /etc/xml/catalog are delegated. That's how it's supposed
to work, anyway. (There's some redundancy in this model for packages that have a
single XML catalog: they could delegate right from the Root Catalog to the Local
Catalog. A few of us hashed this over and chose consistency over redundancy. FYI.)
