It was the `--xinclude` argument that I was suggesting.  If I understand
the above make target correctly, the file '../tech_spec.xml' is the one
that contains the XInclude elements, yes?  If so, then you need to
instruct xsltproc (like xmllint) to perform xinclude processing before
XSLT processing: the `--xinclude` argument does that.  I think your new
make target would look like:

 	xsltproc --output temp.html.xml \
  --xinclude \
 	--stringparam profile.condition html \
 	/usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/profiling/profile.xsl \
 	../tech_spec.xml; \
 	xsltproc \
 	--stringparam use.id.as.filename 1 \
 	--stringparam spacing.paras 1 \
 	--stringparam make.valid.html 1 \
 	--stringparam chunker.output.indent yes \
 	/usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/html/chunk.xsl \
 	temp.html.xml;

(The new line is line #2.)

Take care,
