Catalogs do not care about URI schemes, caches do.

Say you are using a custom URI scheme (which I know is a contentious issue all of it's own) or some set of URNs you have cooked up, which map into an XML repository for instance. You find yourself disconnected from the repository, a caching proxy (an HTTP caching proxy anyway :) ) isn't going to help you no matter what, while a catalog will.
