I have a better solution: a working resolver.  I did some looking into
the code, and I found the problem.  In Catalog.java, the method
addDelegate looks through the list of delegates already existing, so it
can put them in proper order by length (which is needed to determine the
best match).  If it finds an existing delegate with the same prefix, it
gives up:

	// we already have this prefix

However, it completely ignores the *type* of the delegate.  Therefore,
if a delegateSystem exists, and we attempt to add a delegateURI with the
same prefix, it assumes we already have it and gives up, wrongly.  This
also occurs with the delegates the other way around.  A patch is
forthcoming, which resolves the testcase you have provided in the Apache
bug report.
