Description Steven Elling 2004-01-07 15:49:38 UTC 
xmllint version 2.5.11 does not process XInclude elements when using the '--xinclude' option.

This also prevents XInclude from working in libxslt.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use one of the examples in the "XML Inclusions (XInclude) Version 1.0" W3C Working Draft - http://www.w3.org/TR/xinclude/
2. Run 'xmllint --xinclude document.xml'
3. View the output and notice the include elements are still present.

Actual Results:  
xmllint outputs the original document without including the content of the
included file.

Expected Results:  
xmllint should of replaced the include elements with the content of the included
file.

libxml2 version 2.6.3 fixes the problem with XInclude.  Suggest bumping libxml2
version 2.6.3 to x86.

Upgrading libxml2 allows XInclude to work in libxslt.

2.6.3 is in ~, but i suppose it can go stable soon.
