Hi:
The 'include' issue that I mentioned might have been solved.
I don't know how well this feature is supported today,
but http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2002/07/31/xinclude.html
gives examples of an 'Xinclude' mechanism for including
XML docs from within XML docs.
So if that actually worked,
you get not only simple, nested includes of local files,
but also includes of remote XML files via HTTP.
So the additions to *edm for fetching remote documents
are already handled.
And the Xinclude people thought about fallbacks in case remote
documents are temporarily unavailable.
Plus they use George W. as an example.
So replacing ASCII text files with XML for new EPICS
tools is really very attractive.
