Re: Help with XInclude

Hello Angus,

Your setup appears to be correct. I noticed you're using the new 2003
namespace [1] in your instance document. We missed making that change in
Xerces 2.6.0 so in order to work with the current version of the parser
you need to use the 2001 namespace [2]. The source has been updated in CVS
to accomodate the change made in the new Working Draft. If you don't want
to change your instance documents you can pickup a recent nightly build
[3].

Hope that helps.
