I would love it if you could tell me how I could use Ant's xmlcatalog 
interchangeably with the xml commons catalog or vice versa.

OK.

There is a point when the child must leave the nest and fly off on their 
own. It must be the holiday season.., but I see forrest is to cocoon 
like the child is to their mother. At some point interests and needs
