Another +1 for a non-xinclude conref feature.

No one talks about the hidden cost of xincludes, which is that they are 
expensive in terms of the time they take in a large Java-based doc build 
process. The more xincludes our doc set accrues, the longer the doc build takes.

This is the biggest problem I have encountered with DocBook.  I've
achieved whatever content reuse I've needed so far using xincludes and
xpointer.  I posted the permutations that I find useful here:

     http://wiki.docbook.org/topic/DocBookCookbook

But they only work with xmllint.

Agreed on xpointer, not really surprising though. Xinclude works
fine with Saxon and xerces.
