This seems like a good idea for implementers. I'm considering adding it to my implementations. However, I'm not sure this really needs to be a requirement of the specification. For instance, some people might be implementing XInclude in an environment where it's difficult or impossible to set a specific HTTP header. -- Elliotte Rusty Harold elharo@metalab.unc.edu Effective XML (Addison-Wesley, 2003) http://www.cafeconleche.org/books/effectivexml http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0321150406/ref=nosim/cafeaulaitA
