Hm ... No, I think you're (unfortunately) right.

VML files do not define or use a global name-space for the nodes they
contain, so it is not possible at the moment to refer to a node in a 
different VML file. This sounds like an ... interesting problem, for 
sure. I don't have any ideas for an obvious fix, except perhaps some 
kludge using preprocessing to concatenate the VML files prior to upload, 
but that wouldn't work if you want to upload the content at different 
points in time.

Any ideas here, Eskil (or anyone else, of course) ?
