I think that a lont-term solution is to develop an independent language for specifying integrity constraints. That language should be developed on the basis of recent research such as Wenfei Fan's works [1] and [2]. Such a long-term solution takes a lot of time, however. We need a short-term solution. It should not cause any problems to long-term solutions. I believe that xml:id is the best short-term solution. It is ad-hoc but does the job at minimum cost. I think that the inline declaration solutions sketched in the Draft TAG finding document is not powerful as a long-term solution and takes too much cost as a short-term solution.
