Re: [docbook-tc] Fwd: Status of bug #281: allow xi:include in set

["Hudson, Scott" <scott.hudson@comtech-serv.com>]

I don¹t see any reason why we should restrict books and articles from
mixing in the same documentation set? The point of a set is to provide a
collection of information, is it not? I prefer the first option.

Thanks and best regards,
