Another possibility would be > "incorporate". After thinking about this some more, I feel a bit uncomfortable about renaming the grammar-level include. The grammar-level include is probably used more frequently than the pattern-level include; also the include elements in XSLT, RELAX and XML Schema are more similar to the grammar-level include than the pattern-level include. This suggests that we should leave the grammar-level include as include and instead rename the pattern-level include. Another way to think of the pattern-level include is that it is similar to ref. But whereas ref is referencing a pattern defined internally by a grammar, the pattern-level include is referencing a pattern defined externally by the Web. On this view a name like externalRef would be logical. James
