You have my sympathy. It's no fun these days to comply to the recs and

I think I can articulate the sorry state of xpointer() a bit more for those
that perceive this as a mere implementation issue.
XInclude depends on XPointer depends on XPath; more trouble to come with
XPath 2.0, which relies on W3C XML Schema; i.e., if I understand this
correctly, simple inclusion of document fragment will require a PSVI for the
including document. It'll get hard to avoid W3C XML Schema processing even
when you don't really need it ;(
From my use of xslt 2.0, we should be able to use 95% of xpath
in 2 as we did in 1.0
they pretend backwards support with a mode,
but it all needs checking carefully.
I do my utmost to avoid xml schema, and (mostly) I've succeeded.
I think xpath is probably the cleanest 1.0 to 2.0 'port'.
