Below text is to ensure that we are talking about the same thing.
Please don't feel offended that I am repeating it again but I want to be sure
we understand each other.

Well, I didn't mean to remove <sectioninfo> from our guides.
Just the opposite, I was thinking about adding it to all guides to
have author, copyright, and so on... info included in all files.
Because sometimes I would like to generate HTML page from only
basicxml.xml document and sometimes I want basicxml.xml to be included
as section in another large document.

My concern was, how to include such files in master document without
having <sectioninfo> content repeated at the beginning of each
section in target XML file.
Of course, the obvious solution is to omit <sectioninfo> during inclusion
part content. But I didn't know if this is possible with <xinclude> element.
The above sample shows how to accomplish this and include file content
without unnecessary part.
