The <xi:fallback> element is not yet supported in the only Xinclude processor I know, which is xsltproc. But xref is not an xinclude, so I'm not sure how this applies.

I don't know of another tool that can check across includes or system entities for ID/IDREFs. -- Bob Stayton 400 Encinal Street Publications Architect Santa Cruz, CA 95060 Technical Publications voice: (831) 427-7796 Caldera International, Inc. fax: (831) 429-1887 email: bobs@caldera.com
