Re: [docbook-apps] multiple Xinclude

I am not setting xml:base in any of my Xincludes. My understanding is 
that xml:base will be correstly generated by the docbook xslt. I am 
using relative paths for my files. Is't a requirement that I use 
xml:base in my Xincludes to get the generated Xinclude correctly ?
