I'd suggest a mix: Implement the custom solution as a single simple=20
filter class, which turns the parsed infoset into a new infoset=20
including includes, now. The syntax should be real XIncude but the=20
functionality only a subset (i.e. no XPointer, no parse as text, no=20
fixups [see spec] etc.), until a blackbox solution is available=20
somewhere else or until somebody writes it for spring. Then the filter=20
could simply be replaced, provding full XInclude support, while=20
retaining backwards-compatibility.
