I stumbled upon the same problem (and I already had written a mail to
the mailing list when I finally found the section in the User's Guide).
I wanted to support that at least it should be made more clear why an
entity is not managed.
Even better would be to at least allow comments and processing
instructions before the element root of an included document.
Otherwise, thanks for a great product which really is getting better
with each release.
Cheers
