Hey folks:
What do people think about changing DSpace so that input-forms.xml can use
XInclude?
If I understand correctly, we'd just need to add the following line of code:
"factory. setXIncludeAware(true);"
Beneath
https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/master/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/ds
pace/app/util/DCInputsReader.java#L116
We'd also need to update the DTD for input-forms.xml so that "xi:include"
would be a valid element in the document.

It seems to me that using XInclude could make the management of
input-forms.xml much easier. "input-forms.xml" gets absolutely massive when
adding new forms. So if we had separate XML documents for each form, and
then used XInclude to include them into "input-forms.xml" that could make
maintenance easier.
I suppose it could make it harder to do global updates to input-forms.xml
though. but it would be easier to keep the forms separate. I suppose you
could just search within input-forms.xml using the form name you want. it's
just not very user-friendly.
