How did moving to DocBook 5 change anything? It hasn't been "removed"
From DocBook in any sense. Tools that supported it in 4 should also
support it in 5, one imagines.
Now that I remember, the exact problem was that I couldn't find any XML
validator that handled DocBook5/relax-ng and the xpointer() scheme properly.
(Currently we are using a patched version of Jing.)

The functionality that I sorely miss is the possibility to
reference a tag using its ID, and xinclude everything that's within
the referenced tag, except the tag itself:
<xi:include href="blah.xml" xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude";
xpointer="xpointer(//note[@id='mynote']/*)"/>
That looks like the xpath() scheme to me.
Be seeing you,
