first proposal

I will admit to being slightly confused as to where all this map and 
remap discussion came from. So let's try and start somewhere 
where we all know where we are, including those who are 
subscribed to this mailing list but aren't members of the TC.

One proposal is that we start with John Cowan's XCatalog, now 
called XML Catalog, syntax and change that to meet out needs. So 
I would like to propose that everyone read his document available at
http://home.ccil.org/~cowan/XML/XCatalog.html
and that we then figure out whether it makes a suitable starting 
point.
