Hmm, I think it is important to be specific here - unless I am missing
something, xinclude provides this facility but it also requires you to
take the context into account when evaluating the xinclude semantics -
from [1]:
[Definition: ] An XInclude processor is a class of XML processor
that conforms to all the behavior of the XML and XML Namespaces
Recommendations, and additionally supports the inclusion behavior
specified in this document.
This is in fact consistent with the wording of "taking into account the
context".
