Hi Peter, Our solution does not allow us to use the Xpointer scheme. Because the Xpointer scheme is only a W3 Recommendation, we are relunctant to support it (also, it is difficult to find XML authoring tools that support it).

I have had this problem many times also. I was able to make it work by xi:include-ing only the children of the source element. I was resolving the xi:includes using xsltproc so I was able to use xpointers that might not work in other processors. My xi:includes looked something like this (I can't remember the exact xpointer syntax): <chapter id="myID"> <xi:include href="file.xml" xpointer="xpointer(/book/chapter/secti...@id='myID']/*" xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"; /> </chapter> Peter Desjardins
