This is the DOM Working Group last call review for the XML Inclusions (XInclude) Version 1.0 specification [1]. The XML Inclusions draft introduces a new mechanism for general purpose inclusion. The DOM Working Group is concerned about the XML Processing Model, in particular the processing order of past, present, and future XML specifications. We believe that the impact of XML Inclusions on the XML Processing Model must be addressed by the XML Core Working Group before making any decision in the DOM API. Unlike previous versions, DOM Level 3 will define a way to load an XML file into a DOM tree. It is part of the Load and Save DOM Level 3 module. XML Inclusion is not part of our requirements regarding this module and would certainly complicate our current load definition. Therefore we don't plan to add XML Inclusion as a new requirement for DOM Level 3. Philippe, DOM Working Group chair. [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/chairs/2001AprJun/0029.html
