We've all gotten used to that approach, but I think it has bad modularisation properties, to say nothing of being very slow for documents the size of tr.rdf (which will grow by some significant factor with all dated versions, as we all seem to agree are wanted), and I'd much rather use XInclude here. I'm finding XML pipeline think increasingly useful/powerful, and so although I agree the above is the right thing to put in the XML original governed by xmlspec.dtd, for processing it I'd still prefer to use a multi-step pipeline which translated that into an appropriate xi:include, targetting either an offline-generated, Pubrules-correct xhtml version of tr.rdf or, perhaps, targetting a just-in-time xhtml version created for only the referenced items. ht -- Henry S.
