Well, bad day for me, I 'assumed' we had xinclude support for our
document-v20, so thanks for reverting.

In another thread I'm talking about removing the todo list, one of the items
on that list says :-

18. - [code] Migrate to a decent schema language, primarily so that we can
use namespaces in XML docs, allowing things like XInclude, in-line metadata,
in-line SVG, Jelly snippets, or anything else users can make a Transformer
for. → open

So it seems that is not done. I don't know the best way forward on this, we
can add it to our DTD, create a new one and add it to our schema, point to
something better existing or .. ??

The patch itself seems flawless in its application, matching the W3C
examples [1] pretty closely, so I don’t have a problem with the way they
have been applied as such, just need to work out the best approach to
approve the method and get it validated against our tests.
