Re: [docbook-apps] Problems validating file with xinclude content

[George Cristian Bina <george@oxygenxml.com>]

Actually, the best approach will be to configure the XML parser to 
resolve the XInclude so that the validation will be done on the whole 
content. Xerces provides this support, if you do not get that by default 
then it is just a matter of setting the XInclude aware parser 
configuration - one way to do that is by setting a system property.

I see the docbookxi.rng more useful from an authoring point of view, as 
it gives to a schema-aware XML editor the XInclude elements so the 
editor can propose them to the user.

Best Regards,
George
