Sorry, I forgot to specify:
For validating I use command
xmllint --xinclude --postvalid --noout book.xml
and get error.
I use "--postvalid" instead "--valid" for single pass validating 
of documents with xincludes.

Validating separate chapter with entities in attributes,
with command
xmllint --valid --noout chapter.xml
is ok.

But I want to validate both xinclude and entities in attributes.
