Is there a reason why do you not use the xml:id attribute? If it's
just for cross-referencing, xml:id is the perfect match.

Because the xinclude does not copy the section element.  The xml:id
never makes it into the master document: only its children are copied.

Hmn, I'm a bit confused. Let's say, you have a file foo.xml which contains
a section. To include it into your master document you just write:

<xi:include href="foo.xml"/>

Nothing else. :) Everything from foo.xml, including your section, is
incorporated into your master document.

I do not want the section included, nor its title. As I wrote in the original question, the xincludes usually look something like this:

<xi:include
        href="source.xml"
       xpointer="xmlns(db=http://docbook.org/ns/docbook)
                xmlns(xi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude)
xpointer(//db:secti...@xml:id='section_id']/db:title/following- sibling::*)"
/>

The source files are structured differently from the master document; the master document combines content from several sections, interspersed with customer-directed verbiage.
