 There is no such definition as a "physical link" in the whole set of 
specifications related to XML or the Web.


OK.. I am sorry if I used the wrong 'terminology', but I think someone here anyway understands what I mean...



would like to move the whole filetree to a different location. Would something like this ever be possible:
<xi:include href="$XMLDATA/program/python.xml#xpointer(//python/libs)" parse="xml"


 No. The href attribute content is an URI Reference as defined in RFC 2396.
So far this has been sufficient to build the Web, that should be sufficient
for XInclude. Use relative URI reference or HTTP redirects.
 If you really want to make something not portable and are ready to
design something that broken, then you can define your own entity handler
at the libxml2 level


Why so negetive? I have a problem and need a solution. What I have learned so far doesn't offer one. I didn't 
see 
reason for such a reaction like this... Was this really warranted?

 Right this might be a cleaner way to do a local remapping of the
URLs than overriding the default entity loader. I tend to consider
that catalogs are more system resources than "programming" resources
but they could play that role.


Thank you for the *positive* input that may help offer a *solution* to my problem, Oliver. I don't know 
anything 
about "XML Catalogs". Maybe they can help me. Thanks.


Many regards,
Ben
