Yes, thanks; fixed in the source now.

I'd like to, too.  But yes, that's the intent.  

I'm pretty sure it works correctly.  The URI comes from entities
defined at document production time, and attempts to provide the URI
for the version of Datatypes which corresponds most closely to the
version of Structures it appears in.  And this reference has been
handled this way since the first public working draft of XSD 1.1,
without any comments.  (That is NOT proof that there has never been a
problem.  But I hope it's suggestive.)

There are a number of problems in the references.  After some
consideration and sould searching, I split the proposal into two
parts.  The first part, to resolve issue 6553, does just what 6553
asks, and no more.  

All other fixes -- and they are numerous -- have been postponed to a
separate editorial proposal which I hope to get to this week.

Similar logic to the sister reference from Structures to Datatypes.  I
thought about changing it to a static reference the the TR page copy,
but decided against it, in order to have a cleaner date and to avoid
forgetting to update in the press of publication.

Thank you.  Error in the diff markup.  By the time I reached
these references I was very bored.

Thank you; I've fixed it in the source.

Yes.  As explained above, I decided to make this proposal deal only
with the problems raised in the bug report, and save other cleanups,
including this one, for later.  The ghost label is caused by a failed
attempt to delete the reference to the requirements from the normative
referneces and move it to the non-normative references.  I expect it
will be fixed in the follow-on editorial propsal.
