So I boiled this down to a test case:

Here's the include file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";
xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude";
xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<title>Hello world</title>
</head>
<body>
foo
<xi:include href="navbar.xml"/>
</body>
</html>

Here's what it includes (navbar.xml):


<a href="/index.php" title="My Homepage">Home</a> |
<a href="/code/index.php" title="Code I've written">Code</a> |
<a href="/photos/index.php" title="Pictures of people I know and places I've been">Photos</a> |
<a href="http://www.mozilla.org/";>Mozilla</a> |
<a href="http://diary.recoil.org/pixel/";>Diary</a>

If that's not enough context I can always zip everything up at this end and send it to you.

That's enough. It's your bug and it's easy to fix. You are including a document that does not use namespaces into a document that does. Therefore XInclusion adds an xmlns="" attribute to preserve the correct namespace URIs in the navbar.xml.

Remember: XInclude is not just copy and paste.

The fix is to add the XHTML namespace to navbar.xml.
