[closed] Re: xinclude processing and XProc

/ James Fuller <james.fuller.2007@gmail.com> was heard to say:

Any processing that a pipeline processor might perform on a pipeline
document before it is evaluated is implementation defined. I've added
a note to the spec to that effect.

The semantics of XProc do not include automatically expanding XInclude
elements that appear in the pipeline document.
