Subject: Re: [docbook-tc] Transclusions to XInclude mapping

Actually if "de jure" conformance to XInclude is strong requirement, we can introduce custom XPointer scheme which can be used to convey transclusion specific metadata, something like: <xi:include href="foo.xml" xpointer="dbtrans(target, new-xml-id, idfixup, linkscope)"/> But I think that having this supported in tools would be more difficult then to support something DocBook specific because it would require change in XInclusion procesor which is usually external component behaving like a black box. > b) Implementation of xInclude isn't up to it? Definitively. Anyone trying to use xpointer="..." across different tools has been bitten by this. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jirka Kosek e-mail: jirka@kosek.cz http://xmlguru.cz ------------------------------------------------------------------ Professional XML consulting and training services DocBook customization, custom XSLT/XSL-FO document processing ------------------------------------------------------------------ OASIS DocBook TC member, W3C Invited Expert, ISO JTC1/SC34 member ------------------------------------------------------------------
