The <discard> element is not meant to apply only to animatable
elements - it applies to all elements.

We've clarified this in the specification. We've also clarified
the behaviour of <discard> elements referencing elements outside
the document (they are ignored).

You're right. I've updated the RNG to be

<ref name='svg.XLink.attr'/>

which means the attribute is optional. We've also added text
that makes it clear that the parent is the default target, for
when the href attribute is missing.
