[Bug 5543] SML URI seems overconstrained

A minimally conforming XML processor _must_ identify attribute types, wrt any
attribute declarations it reads.  A minimally conforming XML processor _must_
read all attributes declarations in the internal subset which occur before the
first external parameter entity reference.  So it is easy for authors to
_force_ a minimally conforming XML processor to recognise their IDs.  See for
example the schema document for XML schemas, at
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema.xsd, which includes (redundant) attribute
declarations for all its ID-type attributes in the internal subset.  My
objection stands -- I will formally object if SML goes forward without support
for barename pointers.
