I imagine XInclude as a separate processor, but XHTML could define
a specific processing model that includes a description of how to
handle XInclude.

I don't think you can require a wrapper element in general.  That
is certainly not any kind of requirement expected by Xinclude.

Yes, "nesting tools" is a complicated issue.  We had an XML Processing
Model workshop on this almost a year ago, and the issue is still open.
