When XMLMind creates a referenced inclusion from one part of a document to another part, it uses an XInclude with an empty href attribute. This is permitted by the XInclude standard for referencing the same document. However, I'm having difficulties processing documents with such references.
The xsltproc processor with --xinclude reports that they are recursive references, even though the xpointer attribute identifies only one element, and it is not recursive. The Xerces 2.7.1 and 2.9.0 processors with XInclude enabled report errors like this: "org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Include operation failed, reverting to fallback. Resource error reading file as XML (href=''). Reason: An xpointer was specified that points to a location in the source infoset. This location cannot be accessed due to the streaming nature of the processor." Has anyone succeeded in processing files with such XIncludes?
