XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[Elliotte Harold <elharo AT metalab.unc.edu>]

Here's what I think is happening, though I'm only 90% sure.

Xerces only reports attribute types through the SAX interface that are 
identified by the DTD, not any other schema. Therefore it does not tell 
XOM that the id attribute has type ID. Therefore the XPointer support in 
XOM  does not find it.

XOM and XInclude both operate on the infoset. Schema validation produces 
a post-schema validation infoset which XOM never sees or pays any 
attention to.

To have your IDs recognized for XInclusion you need to identify with a 
DTD, not a schema.
