Now that XInclude is a recommendation, I took another look at it. Well, one can implement some XInclude basics in XSLT (and many did), but developing a conforming implementation would be not a piece of cake and can't be done with pure XSLT1 for sure. There are some troubles here I see: 1. Including of non-XML resources. 2. Detecting encoding of non-XML resources. 3. Checking for forbidden in XML characters in non-XML resources. 4. Detecting errors when fetching resources - in order to implement fallback an XInclude implementation has to catch numerous errors and distinguish between resource errors (such as file not found) and fatal errors (such as attempts to include malformed XML). 5. Setting HTTP headers when fetching external resources. 6. Preserving DOCTYPE. -- Oleg Tkachenko http://blog.tkachenko.com Multiconn Technologies, Israel
