OK. The sentence in 4.5 "Intra-document references within xi:include elements must be resolved against the source infoset." means there isn't really a problem with same document references as I feared. However, that they are not treated the same as interdocument references is a little confusing. I suggest adding something to section 3.1 about this; e.g. "XPointers that point to the current docuemnt refer to the source infoset; all others point to the acquired infoset." Hmm, what happens if a same document reference is made with a URL in an href attribute? And does this mean a multi-URL'd document could have different results depending on which URL it was accessed from? Anyway, the sentence after this is, "The effect of this is that the order in which xi:include elements are processed does not affect the result." This isn't actually true. Obviously as my test case showed the order in which xi:include elements are processed does affect the results. This sentecne should be rewritten so that it's clear this only applies within one document; e.g. "The effect of this is that the order in which xi:include elements in the same document are processed does not affect the result." -- Elliotte Rusty Harold elharo@metalab.unc.edu
