Yes thats right. The only way to specify the ID and IDREF types is to use
DTDs or some other schema language. Its a shame this kinda stuff wasn't in
straight XML without the DTD/Schema layer being required but thats another
story...
>From betwixt's perspective I guess the XMLBeanInfo should know what ID
attribute ('foo') and IDREF attribute ('fooRef') to use.
