Especially since the tools don't appear to do even per-run caching and
download it multiple times.

That's what I meant by broken. Even if you installed the stylesheets

catalog file. At least, that was the situation a few years ago when I
last used docbook seriously. It sounded like Erik was having the same
experience.
