To make this clear: mainly I am looking for a solution to include pieces
of DocBook in different documents.
The only solution _I_ found to avoid the problem I mentioned is
disallowing relative paths with <ulink> in the XML source file and
that may mean using <olink>, which will need some preparation
beforehand.

To induce people using this, if we agree to move in this direction, we
could adopt the approach the NetBSD.org spelling police uses, a daily
cron job. And of course documentation, which we haven't started yet :-/.
