I should also point out that the result of allowing XIncludes my end up not being very satisfying as it isn't great to have a file that looks like below. For one, the file below won't even work because the definitions in the xinclude files can't be wrapped in a parent element. Second, the files have to exist even if they are empty. Third, it is just very disjointed to have to have 3 files to include the pieces.
