Then would you agree with A) and ignore that Relation should be a
controlled vocabulary, or do you have another suggestion? The DC Citation
group currently recommend Identifier, though this is less of a solution in
this case as the full reference for the article (etc) is not given.

I assume that you disagree with B because of your involvement with DC, as
no other explanation is given?  Or is there some other reason that XD
shouldn't differ somewhat from DC in regards to scope?
