Of course, I am > assuming POWDER has excellent reasons for using XSLT2+schema includes. We need the replace() function in XSLT 2 to convert our white space separated lists into regular expressions. In simplified form, something like <includehsosts>example.com example.org</includehosts> becomes <includeregex>[regex_blurb] (example.com|example.org) [more_regex_blurb] </includeregex> And (our XML expert reliably informs me) you can't do that in XSLT 1. We use schema references simply because /all/ (valid) POWDER documents can, by design, be transformed into what we call POWDER-S but what is actually an OWL ontology. It's an important part of the semantics that the three different species of POWDER are semantically equivalent and including the schema reference is our way of making this explicit and, in theory at least, machine discoverable/processable.
