Re: [xml2rfc] XInclude should be used instead of PI include

Hi Randy,

Looks like the `XML_LIBRARY` environment variable is an undocumented
feature in xml2rfc.
Unfortunately, this works only if the BibXML reference is not an
absolute path or URL.
When the reference is an URL, xml2rfc checks the cache directory first
and if it misses the cache, makes a network request.

Cheers,
Kesara
