Yep, it seems that the XSLT code wasn't updated to the latest 
translusions draft that is based on XInclude 1.1. As a namespace changed 
between drafts the most recent XSLT code isn't doing anything. But XSLT 
transformation at the end of DocBook Transclusion document should be 
doing right thing so using it as an almost drop-in replacement could do 
the trick.

I have one customer who uses original proposal with DocBook 4.3 and XSLT 
1.0 stylesheets -- they will not be affected by any change for 
foreseable future ;-)
