DOCBOOK-APPS: XInclude support in Saxon and Xalan

[John Himpel <jwhimpel@tseinc.com>]

Greetings,

I am in the process of converting a large body of work from SGML to XML.

Initially, I used entities to join together a large number of articles
into a single book.  However, after discovering that xsltproc processes
XInclude functionality, I would like to use XInclude instead.

Since this body of work (sorry I'm temporarily under an NDA), is used
quite extensively on Unix, Windows, OS/2, QNX, and literally dozens of
other operating systems, I need to make sure that the XML can be
transformed by the largest possible audience.

In addition to xsltproc (thanks to Daniel for literally saving tens of
hours of wait time), I would like to verify that XInclude can be
processed by Xalan and/or Saxon.

Does anyone have any first-hand experience with this?

Thanks.
