I agree that it's common sense to treat two includes on the same
(absolutized) URI as identical. I disagree that the Recommendation makes it
clear that you should do so. (It doesn't even make it clear how you should
absolutize the URI, for example I've heard a serious suggestion recently
that it's incorrect to take xml:base into account.)
