A shortcoming of XInclude, when compared to entities, is that XInclude only allows a merging of infosets, and fragments don't have infosets. This means that XInclude is not currently up to the task of replacing entities by a long shot. "Well-formed XML entities that do not have defined infosets (e.g. an external entity file with multiple top-level elements) are outside the scope of this specification, either for use as a source infoset or the result infoset."[1] Also, the spec claims that XInclude and entities are "complementary" technologies.[2] Evan Lenz XYZFind Corp.
