We can’t copy that around forever.
The problem is that ‘search-path-specification’ is meant for $PATH-like
variables that list directories, not files.
So I see two solutions:
1. Patch libxml2 so that it honors a new variable, say
$XML_CATALOG_DIRECTORIES, which would allow us to use
‘search-path-specification’.
2. Augment support for search paths to allow file-based search paths.
(2) may be best in the long run, but it has ramifications in different
places.
Thoughts?

By my count, that is exactly 78 characters.

We can???t copy that around forever.
The problem is that ???search-path-specification??? is meant for $PATH-like
variables that list directories, not files.
That occurred to me too. But what problems does it actually cause?
So I see two solutions:
1. Patch libxml2 so that it honors a new variable, say
$XML_CATALOG_DIRECTORIES, which would allow us to use
???search-path-specification???.
2. Augment support for search paths to allow file-based search paths.
(2) may be best in the long run, but it has ramifications in different
places.
(1) seems like a good idea only if upstream can be persuaded to adopt it.
What are the ramifications of (2) ?

Which is unlikely, given that it’s redundant with $XML_CATALOG_FILES.

There are changes in the build tools, for instance ‘search-path-as-list’
(used by ‘set-path-environment-variable’, used in gnu-build-system.scm)
expects directories, not files. And all this calls things
‘directories’.
This is a change we could schedule for the next core-updates.

There are changes in the build tools, for instance ???search-path-as-list???

???directories???.

This sounds like it is the most sensible solution.
