But then you need a different keyword other than sch:include ... 
perhaps sch:merge ... but I don't think you can arbitrarily change 
the semantics of sch:include now that it has been out and implemented 
for a while.

I know that my existing and deployed sch:include stylesheets would 
stop working.

I guess I missed seeing what people are requesting.  Can you cite 
some examples?

Can any proposed functionality be implemented in different modules 
than the modules put forward as "reference implementations"?
