I'm finishsing and polishing simple mkxmlcatalog, whcih is not
depend on any other port. So, after two or three days we will have
this tool as PR, and I'll prepare updates of some XML ports to add
xml catalogs to them (docbook-xml and xhtnl for first time).

I think so too. We will need to update libxml2 to use this as
default, too.

My utility will support addinfg and deleteing of any elements, It
will support <publicDelegate>, <systemDelegate> and <uriDeleagte>, when
add <public>, <system> and <uri> elements (it will be possible to
automaticaly add new <system> to most situable catalog, not ot root
one).

I agree with you, but I could not decide something here :(
