The RFC2629 vocabulary has been designed with TXT output in mind, so it 
really supports references to things for which a description can be 
generated automatically (such as "Section 1.2" or "Figure 1").

That being said, with the extensions supported in rfc2629.xslt, you can 
put an @anchor almost everywhere (should work on <spanx>, for instance), 
  but it won't auto-generate the text for you (so you'll always need 
<xref> with text content).
