When I do not use the xpointer and include entire files everything works
fine. The issue is that I have several cases where I use the xpointer to
include parts of a document from other books.
Is there a special thing I need to add to the xpointer so it will
resolve correctly? Do I have the xpointer syntax correct?
I have looked around on the Web and found very little that is helpful.
It worked great when I was not using the namespace aware stylesheets and
left the included file in Docbook 4 mark-up. Once I moved the included
file to Docbook 5 mark-up the whole thing went south.

So it didn't resolve?
I don't think that's an xinclude issue is it?
I'm using it happily, but without the xpointer bit.
<xi:include href='tests.section3.xml'/>
This is within a chapter, including a section.
