You definitely need the namespace declaration.  The trick is that you
only want to specify one of --valid or --postvalid with xmllint.  When
both are specified, xmllint will try to do (DTD) validation before
XInclude processing, which throws all the (expected) DTD errors related
to the XInclude stuff.

In summary, what (I think) you want is:

$ xmllint --xinclude --noout --postvalid --timing --noent impnotes.xml

Take care,
