    Yes. It was very simple. The include engine I wrote allows for a
    XPath fragment. I then use Saxon's XPath engine. Does everything
    I've needed so far.

    Now I want to hack a Saxon OM that will follow these includes
    transparently, so I don't have to materialize an included document.

    Any interest?
