This is not true. XInclude operates at the *processing* level and not 
the syntactic level. The only constraint XInclude imposes is that the 
IDs within the included documents must not conflict with any IDs within 
any other included documents (or the including documents).

If you are using an Xinclude implementation that fails when you include 
a document with an XML declaration then it is not a valid XInclude 
implementation.

Cheers,

Eliot
