Section 3.2.10 of [1] states:
"[Definition:] uri represents a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) Reference as
defined in [RFC 2396]."
Furthermore section 4 of [2] states:
"The term "URI-reference" is used here to denote the common usage of a
resource identifier. A URI reference may be absolute or relative,
and may have additional information attached in the form of a
fragment identifier."
...
"URI-reference = [ absoluteURI | relativeURI ] [ "#" fragment ]"
...
I think these two statements answer the question if "#ref" is a valid
instance of the uri schema type with yes, since the part
"absoluteURI | relativeURI" is optional in the definition of
URI-reference.
I conclude that therefore we should remove the IDREF attribute from the
Reference element.
