I think XInclude should be moved out for the same reason that Canonical
XML was: not everyone wants it.

The rationale behind the latest set of changes were to help interoperability
in the face of possible content negotiation going on behind the scenes.
By providing ways to set the HTTP headers, we make it less likely that
one will retrieve the SVG rather than the XHTML view of a document, say,
if both are available at the same URL.
