RE: XML "include"?

[Patrick Lightbody <plightbo@cisco.com>]

No, that wouldn't because the external is going to be a servlet like so:

http://www.foobar.com/ContentObject?id=123

That way whatever that page bring up (which will be a small chunk of XML), 
it would be just as if that text were inserted in the other XML file. Is 
this possible? Xlink?
