Another option is to install all the docbook stuff, in this case, the
docbook xsl stylesheets:
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/pst/docbook-xsl.html
You can see in the configuring section it has a rule to rewrite the URI
to point to a local file on your system:

xmlcatalog --noout --add "rewriteURI" \
           "http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current"; \
           "/usr/share/xml/docbook/xsl-stylesheets-1.77.0" \
    /etc/xml/catalog
