Yes, of course one can implement Xinclude using the facilities in XSLT. That is all well and good. However, if the W3C is going to have a standard called xinclude you would expect tools that process xml to at least provide the option of recognizing it. In other words, I should be able to author a stylesheet that transforms a document with out necessarily worrying if the author of the document created a monolithic document or created a document that xincludes sub-documents. Now I know how to create a stylesheet that will work in both cases. This is not my question or problem. My question is why have a standard if something as ubiquitous as XSLT does not recognize it for free? ---- On Thu, 30 May 2002, Joerg Heinicke (joerg.heinicke@xxxxxx) wrote: > Sal Mangano wrote: > > Are xslt processors required to use XML parsers that recognize and > > implement xinclude (http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude)?
