That is planned. I did not read all of the messages in this report, but
the following discussion at the xslt mailing list is probably related to
what you discuss:

B. sometimes broke the thread, so search for messages with the subject
"XInclude-processing in XSL stylesheets" too.

No, read http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xslt/2006-August/msg00048.html.
The patch will be changed. See
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xslt/2006-September/msg00005.html for the
reason, why it was not already done.

For the moment the patch as suggested in
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=383408 could be removed
from the Debian package, because the related bug #382505 cannot be
solved with this patch either, see
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xslt/2006-August/msg00051.html.
