  Well  actually XInclude is defined in terms of Infoset merging, so it
is not really defined to be processed at the parser level (but it may be
more efficient to implement it this way). I implemented XInclude in
libxml by making a separate function doing the XInclude process
using the including document tree.

  Allowing to do it on the input tree of an XSLT transform is an interesting
idea I just added it to xsltproc the command line tool in libxslt.
