I'm not sure that's in the spirit of  XInclude
<http://www.w3.org/TR/xinclude/> and xml:base
<http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlbase/>, however I'm not an expert for Xinclude.
Please consider the following slightly modified examples taken from Norm's
page (see. http://norman.walsh.name/2005/04/01/xinclude#p3).
