I agree, that's a better phrasing. Sorry; explain this a few hundred 
times and it's too easy to start firing off the standard brain-dump 
without reading carefully enough.

I still suggest moving to a Schema environment plus XInclude or 
something like that -- among other things, XInclude is namespace-aware 
and thus will properly preserve namespaces when assembling a composite 
document, rather than having the risk that a default attribute 
declaration or something of that sort will produce a different meaning 
than you intended.
