I'm also open to ideas on useful ways to use XInclude while only targeting a single element. I haven't been able to come up with a way that that's useful enough for me, but maybe I'm not thinking about the problem from the proper point of view. For the schema, I could have the types as a single include, but for solrconfig.xml I'd want to share almost all of the configuration except for a few customizations, and all the elements are within the root. I can't see how to use XInclude to be useful for this case.
I'd appreciate any examples people of have of how their using XInclude for configuration sharing.
