What I don't know/ haven't asked if this works with tabs as well, but you could always ask Sjur.
It does work, without problems. Actually, out present use of the XInclude enhancements in site.xml and tabs.xml utilise XPointer (part of XInclude) to extract fragments of an external file to create several tabs. That is, we have all our external modifications in one file, but extract once for each tab we want to add to tabs.xml. It looks like:
<!DOCTYPE tabs PUBLIC "-//APACHE//DTD Cocoon Documentation Tab V1.1//EN" "http://forrest.apache.org/dtd/tab-cocoon-v11.dtd";>
<tabs title="Divvun" software="Divvun" copyright="Norgga Sámedikkis" >
<tab dir="" id="Home" label="Home" indexfile="index.html" >
<tab dir="" id="northern-sami" label="Davvisámegiella" indexfile="index_sme.html" />
<tab dir="" id="lule-sami" label="Julevsámegiella" indexfile="index_smi.html" />
<tab dir="" id="norwegian" label="Norsk" indexfile="index_nb.html" />
<tab dir="" id="swedish" label="Svenska" indexfile="index_sv.html" />
<tab dir="" id="finnish" label="Suomeksi" indexfile="index_fi.html" />
</tab>
<tab id="adm" label="Administration" dir="adm" indexfile="index.html" >
<tab id="adm-gen" label="General" dir="adm" indexfile="index.html" />
<tab id="reports" label="Reports" dir="adm/reports" indexfile="monthoverview.html" />
</tab>
<tab href="http://giellatekno.uit.no"; label="Sami Disamb. Proj." />
<xi:include href="doc/tabs-frag.xml#xpointer(/tabs/tab[1])" xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"/>
<xi:include href="doc/tabs-frag.xml#xpointer(/tabs/tab[2])" xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"/>
</tabs>
The external tabs file (named tabs-frag.xml in our case) looks like this:
<tabs>
<tab dir="doc" id="TechDoc" label="Tech. doc" indexfile="intro.html" >
<tab dir="doc/admin" id="admin" label="Project" indexfile="workplan.html" />
<tab dir="doc/admin/weekly" id="weekly" label="Weekly" indexfile="index.html" />
<tab dir="doc/infra" id="infra" label="Infrastucture" indexfile="workenvironment.html" />
<tab dir="doc/lang" id="lang" label="Languages" indexfile="index.html" />
<tab dir="doc/ling" id="ling" label="Linguistics" indexfile="common.html" />
<tab dir="doc/tools" id="tools" label="Tools" indexfile="tools.html" />
</tab>
<tab id="how" label="HowTos" dir="doc" indexfile="howtos.html" />
</tabs>
Since the site.xml and its external extensions were quoted in Ferdinand's e-mail, I won't repeat it here. But suffice to say that you can include anything that is possible to express in XInclude, which include the full power of XPointer, assuming that your XInclude processor (ie the Cocoon XInclude processor) can handle it. I am not aware of any limitations, but I haven't looked for them either.
