^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I'm not sure if this is correct. That looks odd to me.

I don't think Saxon supports XPointer directly. Maybe you have to use
Xerces as an underlying XML parser.

It's just a guess, but I've read somewhere you have to use an additional
xpointer() and id() keyword:
<xi:include href="../common/mvnappx.xml"
xpointer="xpointer(id(ESBMavenAppxP1))"/>
If I remember correctly, I used this notation with xmllint. If Saxon or
any of your tools doesn't like XPointers, you can still use xmllint and
resolve it with this tool. After you've created a single file you can
apply your additional steps.
There is also a very useful section in Bobs book, see
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/DuplicateIDs.html
Note: XPointer consists of several specifications and not all are a
recommendation. Depending on your tool, not everything may be implemented
yet.
Maybe this helps,
Tom
