Oh yes. I'm not pointing this out as an extraordinary problem. I agree that flexibility is needed, but eventually (say in XSLT 1.1 final), there should be some discussion of stylesheet behavior in the face of xincludes. And I'mnot talking about a rigid specification, just notes. Maybe something to the tune of "The stylesheet processor may or may not resolve XInclude inclusions in the Stylesheet infoset. If they are not resolved, they must be treated as literal result elements. In order to create XInclude elements in the result tree, it is advisable to use <xsl:element name='xinclude:include' namespace='http://www.w3.org/1999/XML/xinc lude'>... To avoid different behavior in processors that do or do not resolve XIncludes." > my 2 cents, Not centimes? Too cheap, I suppose.
