But you can learn them to resolve XIncludes. It is possible to write
simple XSLT stylesheet which will replace xi:include elements with
referenced content. Browser can be instructed to run this transformation
automatically by placing <?xml-stylesheet ?> processing instruction at
the beginning of XML file.

It's kind of hack, but in theory it should work.
