  You will have to do it. By definition, the XInclude process is a recursive
one, once you have generated the Infoset you're not supposed to be able to
go back to the initial structure, libxml2 is just nice in the sense that
it keeps markers to do this kind of things, but it's definitely not
a default processing, i.e. you will have to write that custom extension.
