Thanks Paul, good explanation. Yes, I remember puzzling over the ESIS as Neill Kipp spent a few hours explaining to me how addressing was affected by misteps in not having a true abstract model. Like too many people then, I assumed the DTD was the model, the things in the file were the things being counted and so forth. That's what happens when English majors do computer science: we take too much at face value. :-) Ok, then, as I said to Didier, it appears that this is similar to the append in the relational system plus the notion of order per the point of inclusion. Am I mistaken that the order of the information is preserved, that is BCB includes in AA(include)AA to produce AABCBAA ?

Dayadhvam.h -----Original Message----- From: Paul Grosso [mailto:pgrosso@a...] For XInclude, yes, reversing the operation is not necessarily guaranteed, and that was not a goal of XInclude (or the Infoset on which XInclude is built, though a fair amount of information in the original can be captured by the infoset, and one could build an application based on XInclude that did what was necessary to allow most include operations to be reversible).
