Kenneth Stephen commented on XALANJ-2264:
-----------------------------------------
I respectfully disagree with the decision you have made. Your decision is based
on developer opinions. As an end-user of Xalan, it is very annoying and
user-unfriendly to require a Java program to be written to support features
that are based on an XML standard atleast three years old. Consider the case of
a stylesheet which is either written in "pull" mode or is fundamentally nothing
more than an HTML page with chunks of XSL embedded within it. It is really
desirable in such cases that the large chunks of static html be relegated to
"include" files, and that the stylesheet should just be able to include them.
This greatly increases the maintainability of code. This is hardly an esoteric
need. In my humble opinion, people arent demanding this feature more only
because they dont know it already has been addressed and defined by the
standards bodies as an appropriate solution.
Please, please implement this feature.

> Project: XalanJ2

> Components: Xalan-CmdLine
> Affects Versions: 2.7.1
> Environment: all
> Reporter: Rudolf Weber
> Attachments: xalan-xi.patch.txt

>
> The xi:include-awareness should be specifiable on the command-line.
> The default is on, since I think in the normal case it is useful.
> In the special case, the default has to be swiched off with -NIA.
> (Of course, it may be good keep the current behavior on default. I think,
> that the xi:include is not in wide use, so I want to risk to change the
> default. )
> In our project we want to include declarations in a programming language
> in the xslt-file, so the option -XSLIA.
