Dear Advisory Committee Representative,

It is my pleasure to announce that a new edition of XInclude 1.0 has
been

All Members who responded to the Call for Review [1] of the Proposed
Edited
Recommendation supported the publication of this specification as a W3C
Recommendation.

W3C would like to thank the XML Core Working Group [2] for their
continued
work to maintain the XML family of specifications.

For Tim Berners-Lee, Director;
