Note, also, that the parameter-entity method works transparently if you
are XIncluding other documents (i.e. it is not an either/or choice): you
need to include the PE reference in each document's DOCTYPE, but there
are no double-definition problems or anything.
XIncludes are beneficial if you can't augment the DTD for the document.
The case I can think of is where a document is assembled using a number
of system entities -- the files expanded as entities can't define their
own entities. Of course, if you control the top level document, this
isn't a problem. It might be a problem if you include the same fragment
in a number of documents.
The other reason people might prefer XIncludes is the increased locality
-- with entities, you need more of a global knowledge of the document.
