What would it take to enable osis2mod to process a top level OSIS file that 
called subsidiary XML files using the Xinclude feature?

See https://www.w3.org/TR/xinclude/
and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XInclude

Potential use:

Instead of having to script the merging of two OSIS files (e.g. for the KJV 
books and the KJVDC books to make a large XML file from which to make the KJVA 
module), the two OSIS files could be included by name in a small OSIS file. If 
osis2mod could run with that, it would be a simpler task to update the KJVA 
module whenever the KJV module is being updated.

It seems a shame if we could not take advantage of this standard feature of XML 
with the main tool we use for making Bible modules.

Best regards,

David
