I think that we should also add encoding attribute for holding encoding
name of included file. Stylesheet and processing tools haven't chance
for recognizing encoding of external file in many cases. (And in fact
XInclude standard also uses encoding attribute for specifying encoding
for non-XML files.)

For some application it may be useful to have also format or type
attribute here. One can say that format of file is java or text/java and
stylesheet can apply syntax-highlighting on the file.
