Re: XRefs between instances using different content models

Thanks David. It occurs to me that what I
really want is something similar to a DITA conref because the goal
is to pull the referenced target into the rendered source.
Assuming that makes sense I am wondering if XInclude might be my
best option...?

yes or no depending what you mean by "XREF". the two most common
referencing mechinsms (probably) in xml would be using
ID and IDREF attributes, but they are constrained to be in the
same document, you can not refer to other documents using IDREF
typed attributes even if they use the same document type.
the other common referencing method is to use ID attributes for
the anchor and then URI-valued attribute for the link. If you use
URIs for referencing you can refer to the ID foo in document
bar.xml as href="../../a/b/c/bar.xml#foo" and then it doesn't
matter what the document type of the document is, it doesn't need
to be xml at all, it may be html or pdf or whatever.
