Sorry. Poor choice of words. I meant not _universally_ supported. The
major programming platforms may support it, but my understanding is that
many client applications don't support it yet (XMLSpy 2006 or Mozilla, for
instance). I would suspect that most cobbled together RSS feed readers
don't recognize _any_ mechanism for including another file.
And what is the status of XInclude with non-validating parsers? I would
assume they are allowed to ignore it. It sounded to me like the original
poster was hoping that the client software would do the including on the
fly, but I suspect server-side is the only reliable way to go.
