Actually this header distracted my attention.

Communication should go to the appropriate mailing list, like said we
are all busy (normally not all at the same time), so always write to the
mailing and even better answer the corresponding thread if possible.

If you read Jims mail you find:

<!ATTLIST xi:include
parse (text|xml) "xml"
href CDATA #REQUIRED
encoding CDATA #IMPLIED
>

Your error says:
"...attribute name must be specified in
the attribute-list declaration..."

The above does not specify it.

Try:
<!ATTLIST xi:include
parse (text|xml) "xml"
href CDATA #REQUIRED
encoding CDATA #IMPLIED
name CDATA #IMPLIED

HTH, however a @name attribute is new for me for x:include.

What are you trying to include? SGML in a doc-20? That will never
validate against doc-v20.

Yes, I should have written to this list first, and possibly copied Jim Dixon.
Next time I have to resend a personal message to a list, I will edit
the message for sending to the list to avoid confusion.

I think you are confused. "attribute name" in the error message
refers to an attribute name in general, not an attribute literally
named "name".

I tried adding your "name" attribute, but it had no effect.

However, I did find the part that causes validation to fail:

<!ATTLIST document
xmlns:xi CDATA #FIXED "http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude";
>

document-v20-jd.dtd successfully validates after commenting out the above block.
This leads me to believe that the declaration of the "document"
element is missing the "xmlns:xi" attribute.

Any ideas?

No, I just want to include some XDocs source in a document-v20.
Currently I have a paragraph that is duplicated on multiple pages in
my site. I want to move this common paragraph into a single include
file.

I mentioned SGML because XML is a subset of SGML and because I do not
know much about either.

Thanks,

The linked-to page does not appear to have any way to navigate to the
subsequent posts in the thread.

The Mail Archive has such navigation functions:

Yes it does: Select the "Subject" to get the threaded view.

Thanks, I did not know that! Selecting "Subject" to change to a
threaded view does not seem very intuitive to me, though. I did not
think the subject of the message was connected to the view mode.
