Thanks Larry. RTFM was my real advice! v5 documentation tells me about it.

As an alternative to using the textinsert element, consider using an 
Xinclude element with the parse="text" attribute and value specified, as 
detailed in DocBook XSL: TCG, Using XInclude for text inclusions.

So

<literallayout>
  <xi:include parse="text"
        href="build.properties" >
  <xi:fallback>
     <para><emphasis>FIXME:  MISSING XINCLUDE CONTENT - 
build.properties</emphasis></para>
   </xi:fallback>
   </xi:include>
</literallayout>
