One requirement is that everything that (meta-)handles metadata
should be in one place. I think it is a pita, when each module has
e.g. code to do the (local) entity resolving on its own. This 
should be condensed into a central module with a central file
that tells which file maps to which public id.

Also for the XML files, I'd like to see something like

Tree t = MetadataProvider.get("data for cmp.xml");
String defaultDB = t.getXPath("/foo/bar/default/db");

which means navigating with XPath.
There is a project JXPath (@jakarta), that could help here.
