You can do whatever you like, but the compilation would
Transform those sections into callbacks.  The CallBackHandler
would insert the relevant snippet

Actually, once the compiled XML is generated, the XInclude transformer
Layer is not needed at all.

It is automatically executed as needed

The trick is with cached elements that have dynamic elements.
Instead of using several cache entries for whole copies of
An entire page,we have one entry for the page, which dynamically
Includes the other elements as needed.  This allows us to have
Different periodicities for *parts* of a page--without cluttering
The cache with unnecessary copies of the same resource.

My next step will be to work with the compressed/compiled XML,
That will encode those events.
