I knew you guys would start talking about the conformant way to do
includes ;).  Unfortunately in this case the XML files are defined by a
3rd party (Winamp Wasabi) so I do not have control over the format of
the XML documents :-/.

xmlParseInNodeContext() looks promising - I'll have a play around with
it!
