Do somebody know if there is an xml editor that have some kind of support for XInclude? Like an editor that can show the modules without putting the parts together....

One of the "greatest" advantages with XInclude is the possibility to validate the modules. In my chapters, I have a XInclude element pointing to a smaller part of the chapter. This meens that I have to change my DTD in a way that it accepts this xinclude element to be able to validate the chapter. I will have to to this for the other parts as well.
