hmmm... if we consider that daml:imports is syntactic sugar for XInclude
http://www.w3.org/TR/xinclude/ i.e.
<xi:include
xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"
href="foo.daml"
/>
just using XInclude as it is already specified would allow us to prune this
whole discussion and the issues it raises of special syntax, semantics etc.
