Yeah there indeed was an issue this time ;) And actually I had to fix
how to resolve "included" file when referenced from *.rnc (it tried
to parse the included file as *.xml, not *.rnc).

The fix is in svn and now it should successfully validates.

The section 2 in the compact syntax describes it as an error:

"It is an error for patterns to combine the |, &, , and - operators 
without using parentheses to make the grouping explicit."
