W3C usually publishes notes when there is no future work planned on some
specification that hasn't yet reached Recommendation status.

Unfortunatelly Norm has to left working group before reaching
Recommendation status.
(https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2016Jun/0001.html)
Because W3C terminated all XML related activities there is no working
group that can finish this.

Some tools already implement XInclude 1.1 -- I think that at least
Calabash, oXygen and XML Mind. So as long as your toolchain support
features you need from XInclude 1.1 you can use it.
