But that would just be the same thing as xincluding the file with no
xpointer at all. You can also xinclude by id without using the xpath()
stuff.

Try this (note that oXygen will complain but the Maven plugin should
take it and do the right thing):

<xi:include
href="../install-guide/basic-install-files/basic-install_architecture.xml"
xpointer="xmlns(db=http://docbook.org/ns/docbook)
xpath(/db:chapter/*)">

or more generically:

<xi:include
href="../install-guide/basic-install-files/basic-install_architecture.xml"
xpointer="xpath(/*/*)">

What the xpath /db:chapter/* says is: give me all of the child elements
of db:chapter

If you want the contents of the chapter except for the title, do
xpath(/db:chapter/*[not(self::db:title)])

Let me know if you can't get it working and what doc you're trying to do
it in. I'll give it a shot, but I did test this and it works with the
clouddocs-maven-plugin (recent versions anyway).
