In developing JUMBO I have found it necessary to keep track of URL/Is of
the subcomponents of a document. I suspect that XMLers will very soon start
using XML for distributed documents and wish to know where the components
come from. Thus a standard document is increasingly likely to have
transcluded information or meta-information (the stylesheet is an example).
 so, if it's not too difficult, including entity info could be much used.
