Hmmm... Is _validity_ (as opposed to well-formed-ness) really
defined at parse time?  When initially experimenting with xinclude,
I was hoping I didn't have to cope with declaring xinclude in the
dtd (both declaring the element itself, and declaring all places
it could appear --- that would be a REAL headache!!!)

As far as xmllint is concerned, 
  xmllint --xinclude --postvalid --noout file.xml
seems to do what I want: parse, do inclusions, and _then_ validate.
But, perhaps, this approach isn't really, um, ... valid :>

Yep, that fixes the xinclude problem!  Thanks!!
But does this version significantly alter the interface, somehow?
xslt wouldn't run until I discovered that you had also dropped
a snapshot of libxslt at ftp://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/cvs-snapshot.tar.gz

That new xsltproc works again, but even after recompiling
XML::LibXML & LibXSLT, I had to backup from AxKit 1.3.98 to 1.3.97
(which are both old versions, but I'm having some other problems
which aren't really relevant here...)

Thanks for the quick response!
