It would be sufficient, if the XmlMind Editor would not choke on the input, report the file as valid XML, and display the "xi:fallback" content...such that it cannot be edited (the way we see referenced parts in modular documents, for example). > > > > Please find a short example attached, demonstrating the problem > (document is reported to be invalid). > > Any comments, tips and pointers are welcome... > > > > Your document is reported to be invalid because, when an "xi:include" > element cannot be transcluded (that is, replaced by the contents pointed > to), it is kept as is in the opened document.

At http://www.w3.org/TR/xinclude/#fallback_element in section "3.2 xi:fallback Element" it is stated that: "The xi:fallback element appears as a child of an xi:include element. It provides a mechanism for recovering from missing resources. When a resource error is encountered, the xi:include element is replaced with the contents of the xi:fallback element. If the xi:fallback element is empty, the xi:include element is removed from the result. If the xi:fallback element is missing, a resource error results in a fatal error." This is why I expect the "xi:include" to get replaced, in which case the document would get valid again. Best regards, Dirk Baechle -- Neu: GMX De-Mail - Einfach wie E-Mail, sicher wie ein Brief!
