When an attribute value constraint is applied and the corresponding declaration 
has one of these 4 types or a type derived from one of them, should 
IDREF/ENTITY rules be enforced? My intuition is they should, but the spec seems 
to suggest they are not checked, because those attributes are 
neither "validated" (required by IDREF in section 3.15.3) nor "string valid" 
(required by ENTITY in section 3.14.4).

Seems that when applying element value constraints with those types, 
IDREF/ENTITY special rules are enforced.
