Is it legal for a ref to a global element to have annotations? Can those
annotations differ from the annotations on the global element definition?
It makes sense that a particular binding of a global element into a context
may need special documentation. The question arises when an IDE must
determine which annotation(s) to display with a ref to a global element -
the annotations on the global element definition, the annotations on a local
element, or both. XML Spy displays only the annotation on the global
element, and doesn't provide a means of annotating the local binding. I can,
however, enter an annotation in text view and it validates, at least in Spy.
What should the correct behavior be?
