So you both intepret the spec as allowing forward references. I think
that's consistent with what we say about recursive imports, but I
can't actually find anywhere in the spec that says that.

For what it's worth, this is precisely why XML Calabash fails the
import-007 test. I assume that I will have seen declarations for each
step before I encounter a use of that step. Or rather, I assert
err:XS0044 id I haven't.
