Section 2.13 says:

# Non-validating processors must ignore the possible denormalizations
# that would be caused by inclusion of external entities that they do
# not read. 

As for XIncludes, an XInclude processor may have to do extra
normalization compared to a pure XML processor, but pure XML
processors know nothing of XIncludes.

I'll make sure the next draft spells out that only references to
external entities count as "includes" for XML 1.1.
