That's just a keystroke (Ctrl-E) or a right-click in Oxygen.  (No doubt
there's similar a keystroke in PSGML that's now missing in nxml-mode.)

Even though they don't have to, people tend to put their xsl:include at
the top of the stylesheet, right after any xsl:import, for the sake of
housekeeping.  My contention is that it would make for better housekeeping
if xsl:expose was at the top, too.
