I can't see the problem with modularity. XInclude and XPointer enable virtually any node to be included by reference in a document. That is providing that it is valid to include at that position, not break the valid rule. Take this as a basic example: <section> <title>Inter Account Transfer</title> <xi:include href="../mods/inter-account-transfer.xml" \ xpointer="xpointer(//section)" \ xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"> <xi:fallback> <para>FIX ME</para> </xi:fallback> </xi:include> </section> Using the possabilities of XPointer provides an excellent solution for modular docbook. I have also just started experimenting with XQuery to assemble document objects into complete documents. The possabilities are endless. -- Ask me about the Monkey.
