Currently it's "wontfix". However, I fail to see the use case. In the XML world, it's best practise to combine multiple files using XInclude and not old-style (SGML world) file entities. With DocBook, XInclude works phantastically well. So, why a wish for another method? Even "wishlist" should be reasonable :~)
(Btw. using XML headers for all parts of a multi-file document is also useful, if you are using e.g. an XML-aware editor. Please try XInclude, you won't regret it!) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
