There are special nodes 

  $node->nodeType == XML_XINCLUDE_START and
  $node->nodeType == XML_XINCLUDE_END 

stored in the resulting DOM tree at the boundaries of of an xincluded
part of a document. You may use $node->attributes or maybe
$node->getAttribute methods on an XML_XINCLUDE_START node to query the
href, parse, and encoding attributes of the original <xi:xinclude/>
element.
