  Since you're not using the XInclude syntax the XInclude support will be
useless to you.

  Seems so.

  Yes or rather xmlDocCopyNode() so that the proper doc information get
propagated in the new nodes.
  If you really know what you are doing and that there isn't troubles with
namespaces etc... doing an xmlUnlinkNode() and simply an xmlAddChild()
would avoid the cost of the copy. But if you're unsure, simply use
xmlDocCopyNode() for each of the nodes in the included document and 
xmlAddChild() them to their final destination.
