Well, here is what I've done. However I've found, that no all samples work
any more with Saxon, in particular SQL transformer and XMLforms. 

- Also replaced xalan.jar with saxon.jar

- Starting the servlet-engine with the additional switch 

  -Djavax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl

  in TOMCAT_OPTS/CATALINA_OPTS.

  According to the saxon documentation, saxon uses/can use two XML parsers,
  one for the input and the other for the XSL stylesheet, so that the input
  can be validated and the XSL stylesheet not.

  In my setup, before setting the above option, I alway received exceptions
  coming from the in saxon included parser Alfred (something in the realm
  of resolving). Now, Xerces is used for both input and stylesheet.

- in cocoon/WEB-INF/classes/CatalogManager.properties I've set

  catalogs=/usr/lib/xemacs/packages/etc/psgml/CATALOG

  This is a catalog file, which is included with the PSGML (a XEmacs SGML/HTML
  editing package) and the PSGML packages also contains a bunch of DTDs and
  entity files, which saves you collecting them from the Net.

This setup works for me, even for my own custom DTDs. Although I'm using 2.1-dev
this should also work for 2.0.2. At least it works with 2.0.3-dev for me.

Perhaps, this helps.
