By "resolve" I mean that the<xi:include> element is replaced by the contents of the file it references. > No, xi:include is resolved by an XInclude processor, which you can put anywhere in your processing pipeline. This is one of the benefits over external entities, for example you can do XSLT transformations or XSD validation on the document before applying the includes or after applying them, or you can transform the document leaving the xi:include elements intact, or substitute them with different xi:include elements. Because XInclude processing is not a function of the XML parser, your remaining questions are irrelevant. Michael Kay Saxonica > 3.
