First of all, you got a "#" too many in there, it should read: href="article1/index.xml#xmlns(ert=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml)xpointer(//ert:title)" error reporting on this was pretty lame (you got a blank page), I've made some fixes for this which I'll check in in a moment. But then it still won't work. To try it out I simplified your document down to this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";> <head> <title>Title to be included with xpointer</title> </head> </html> and tried the following includes: <xi:include href="article1/index.xml#xmlns(ert=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml)xpointer(//ert:title)" /> <xi:include href="article1/index.xml#xmlns(my=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml)xpointer(/my:html/my:head/my:title)"/> which don't work. Interestingly enough, if you change both the XML file and the xpointer expressions by renaming html to x, head to y and title to z (while leaving them in the same namespace), it will work. Here are the snippets: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <x xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";> <y> <z>Title to be included with xpointer</z> </y> </x> and <xi:include href="article1/index.xml#xmlns(ert=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml)xpointer(//ert:z)" /> <xi:include href="article1/index.xml#xmlns(my=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml)xpointer(/my:x/my:y/my:z)"/> Also interesting, is that when changing the document to use explicit namespaces, it also works: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <x:html xmlns:x="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";> <x:head> <x:title>Title to be included with xpointer</x:title> </x:head> </x:html> I've also tried changing the XPath processor implementation from xalan to jaxen but that didn't make a difference. The only thing I could still think of then is that the DOMBuilder does something special with plain HTML elements, but I wouldn't know what and didn't immediately notice something.
