Large documents are easier to manage when split into small chunks, that
could be per chapter or an individual section. Also where examples or
computer output is needed in a document it would be much more convenient to
be able to import the text from that file into a document.

The xinclude specification allows these kind of master document with child
fragments to be produced. See examples below

<xi:include href="sectionA.docb" parse="xml"
xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"/>
<xi:include href="programlisting.txt" parse="text"
xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"/>

If XMLMind had a facility to understand xinclude and display in the styled
view a hyperlink to the linked document this would be useful.

Also another more advanced feature that would be good is to be able to
select a portion of a document and to move the contents to a document
fragment and create the xlink.

Keep up the good work,
Paul
