I don't think we define what identifiers are, per se, btw. Are you suggesting we do not mention them at all? Are you suggesting that we don't write either that construct XYZ contains identifier id? Assuming it's acceptable to mention identifiers, I feel it's not unreasonable to mention their scope. Now, it should be possible to drop the notion of identifier completely. I am not against it. I think it would make the specification more abstract, more mathematical, and less of a data model.
