Are you talking about unactivated fallbacks like

<xinclude:include href="utf8.xml" parse="text">
   <xinclude:fallback>
     Not activated because the top level element succeeds.
     <xinclude:include href="utf8.xml" parse="nonesuch">
   </xinclude:fallback>
</xinclude:include>

or descendants of child elements like

<xinclude:include href="utf8.xml" parse="text">
   <p>
     Never processed
     <xinclude:include href="utf8.xml" parse="nonesuch">
   </p>
</xinclude:include>

? The cited paragraph seems to cover the latter case, but not the former 
one. I believe the former one still should be reported as a fatal error.
