You can plug it into the SAX XMLReader as you would any other 
EntityResolver, before using it to create a builder. XOM even has 
special code to recognizer this case and will not reverify data the 
catalog resolver passes it, as it would with untrusted SAX filters.

Catalog support is also on the TODO list, but probably not in 1.1.
