Customize the DocBook DTD -- it's meant to be customized. You can easily
make<xi:include> valid whereever you need it. 

Here's how we do it, just to prove the point:

Subject: [XXE] <xi:include> docbook and xml formatting


Hi,
I'm using XXE to write docbook with <xi:include> tags (which allows you to 
import one docbook file into another).
I describe the process in our developers guide here: 
http://geotools.org/gt2docs/developersguide.html#modulardocumentation

Unfortunately, <xi:include> tags mean that the master document is not valid 
XML anymore which means that XXE has a couple of problems (which I'm hoping 
you may be able to address).
1. When I save the master document with invalid XML, the formatting is lost 
and all <return> characters are removed.  :(

2. It would be nice if XXE could display the <xi:include> tags so that they 
can be edited.

3. It would be even better if the <xi:include> tags could be resolved, and
the 
sub documents imported into the master document so that I can view
everything 
all at once.  (This may need to be an option for very large documents).
