Hello all: I've have a question about section 3.1.1 in part 2 in regards to forward references. Number 2 of section 3.1.1 seems to suggest that forward references may be allowed: "If the element information item representing the edge does have a ref attribute information item among its attributes, then the value of that attribute information item MUST be identical to the value of exactly one id attribute information item in the same envelope." This statement does not imply where in the envelope the "id" contain element must be relative to the element with a "ref" attribute. But, at the end of the section is the following statement seems to suggest a serialization order: "All nodes in the graph are encoded as described in 1 above. Additional inbound edges for multi reference graph nodes are encoded as described in 2 above." Does this mean that forward references are no longer allowed (unlike 1.1)? Or is my wishful thinking causing misinterpretation? Any clarification would be appreciated. Thanks, Brad
