One thing that's wrong is that it won't work in a heterogenous environment where some 
machines are using Windows and others unix.  In that case, this can work:
<!DOCTYPE project [
    <!ENTITY repository SYSTEM http://central.yourdomain.com/dir/repository.xml";>
]>

Of course, this address would have to be behind the firewall, on a machine with a web 
server.

Marginally possible through catalogs, but may be tricky to set up.

What's wrong with "file:///central/dir/repository.xml"?
