I agree, but I need a mechanism to select the legal notice in the right
natural language depending on the value of attribute "lang" in start
element <article>;

<article id="CSharpCodingGuidelines" lang="en-US">
    <articleinfo>
        <title>C# Coding Guidelines</title>
        <legalnotice><xi:include href="legalnotice.xml"/></legalnotice>
        ...
    </articleinfo>
    ...
</article>

In the example above, legalnotice.xml should just select file
en-US/legalnotice.xml (because of lang="en-US"); if I specify lang="de-DE",
then legalnotice.xml should select de-DE/legalnotice.xml, and so on.

On the server I have a structure like this:

legalnotice.xml
      + en-US
      |   + legalnotice.xml
      + de-DE
      |   + legalnotice.xml
      ...

The top-level legalnotice.xml shouldn't contain any text at all; it
should just select the right localized file (again, depending on lang="...").

That's it,
j3d.
