We agree with you. If we have enough time, we'll implement "cutInclusionEnabled", a variant of command "cut", in next release 3.1. Otherwise, it will be added to the release after 3.1. Command "cutInclusionEnabled" will work as plain command "cut" except that if it cuts an element included from an external document (e.g. a chapter included in a book), it will copy a reference (and not plain XML nodes) to the clipboard. Unlike current behavior, we feel that this is what the user expects XXE to do. Moreover, XXE will do for new command "cutInclusionEnabled" what it does for command "pasteInclusionEnabled" (http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/commands/pasteInclusionEnabled.html): When XXE starts, it registers command "pasteInclusionEnabled" as "paste". Therefore, when you think you use command "paste", in fact, you use command "pasteInclusionEnabled".
