Hi,

I have looked at the working draft of XML Inclusions (XInclude) Version
1.0. While I support an include mechanism, I am mystified that the
proposal does not mention what I see as the the main issue of ID/IDREF
across the including and included documents (ie. an included document
refer with an IDREF to the ID in the main document that contain the
include tag).

I would like to ask what/how XInclude will solve that problem?
Personally, I would be much relived if XInclude does support ID/IDREF
across  including and included documents...I know it is probably hard
technically, but it would solve a lot of problems for may people and
eliminate many difficulties in using XInclude!

Sincerely,
Morten Christensen
