  I pointed you to the spec. The spec defines the behaviour. You are not
following the spec. So don't expect the spec specified behaviour.

  Bzzzz You didn't understood what I said it's not about href="" it's
about <include, your include element is in no namespace it's not an
XInclude element.
  You are just exposing that you don't understand what an XML namespace is
and that explain why you have troubles with XInclude, good point there
are free tutorials, but nothing replaces reading and understanding the specs.

  in the code release under test/XInclude/docs/.
There is also canonical examples in the spec I pointed to in my previous mail

  As pointed the problem is not in the code it is in your data...
Most people don't have troubles with XInclude, really.
