If we could easily use namespaces with DocBook I think that using XInclude would be good decision. But at the present time, using namespaces in DocBook documents brings one big problem: Many editing and processing tools aren't NS aware - many DocBookers are using Emacs+PSGML, Jade. Using namespaces means merging elements from additional namespace (e.g. XInclude) directly do DocBook DTD. To do it, we must fixed namespace prefix. At the end documents looks like they are using namespaces, but for many older processing tools documents behaves like there are no namespaces. In that situation it is easier to add new element or attributes directly to DocBook DTD.
