> A Catalog is basically an ordered list of entries that map external references to local resources using string identifiers called systemId/publicId. The main function of the Catalog API therefore is 1) parse a catalog; 2) use it to find a matching entry and resolve the resource referenced in an XML document.

What it does is to test and demonstrate the use in a real environment, using a CatalogResolver to actually resolves resources in XML documents, while the SQE tests focus on having a full coverage by matching literal strings without involving XML documents.  The SQE test suite has gone through internal reviews and will start public review following this review.
