I'm wondering when Xerces will get support for XInclude use with Schemas.

I was trying to do something like

<xi:include href="Chapters.xml" parse="xml"
      xpointer="element(chapter_one)">
      <xi:fallback />
 </xi:include>

Where chapter_one is the ID of a chapter element in Chapters.xml.

No go.

I checked the Xerces XInclude
FAQ<http://xerces.apache.org/xerces2-j/faq-xinclude.html>and saw this:

What types of IDs are currently supported for XPointers?

For shorthand pointers and element() XPointers, currently only
DTD-determined IDs are supported. schema-determined IDs may be supported in
a future release.

Is there a timeline for this functionality?  Does anyone have a nice
workaround for this ... we're a Schema shop ... we're DTD free :)
