I'm happy to do it.  I was an English major in college and virtually
every assignment I wrote in DocBook, so I'm far more familiar with it
than I'm sure most people ever want to be.

Yeah, that's a good point.  Since we know that most people will have
catalogs working (since usually fetching the DTD repeatedly over the
network gets you rate-limited resulting in a failure), I think it's fair
for us to do this.  And anyway, DocBook 5 isn't exactly new: it's been
around since 2009, IIRC, so distros will have it.

I know Homebrew doesn't have this problem, since they fetch the prebuilt
docs, even for HEAD (master) builds.

I'll try to get the patch written up and sent out today or tomorrow.
