I've submitted a request that PSGML be enhanced to provide XInclude
support.

  http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=648481&group_id=9156&atid=359156

In a nutshell, XInclude support in PSGML would allow you to work with
"split documents" without needing to use external entity references or
an internal DTD subset. It would also allow the child documents to have
their own XML and DTD declarations and internal subsets (something that
is not possible with the external entity reference mechanism).

So, you could work with your child documents independent of any parent
documents that might "include" them. In PSGML terms, that means you
wouldn't need to specify an sgml-parent-document in the child doc in
order to use PSGML to edit it.

XInclude is not a pie-in-the-sky technology -- support for it is already
implemented it a bunch of tools (xsltproc/libxml2/libxslt, Apache
Cocoon, and 4Suite, for starters).
