Grrr.  I just figured this out. :-)  If we have:

tail: cannot open '*.xml' for reading: No such file or directory

        <chapter label="" id="Concept-Index">
        <title>Index</title>

        <index role="cp"></index>

--->    <para></para>
        </chapter>
        </book>

It becomes valid.  I use xmllint --noout --postvalid --xinclude to
validate docbook.  You have to look closely at what it's telling you,
which I didn't before.

Thanks,
