Actually the first one.

For containers, like ref (even as a milestone) they would have IDs but 
not compScriptureReferenceType ones.

Example:

<refStart ID="B1212" reference="John.1.1">

....

<refEnd refID="B1212" referenceEnd="John.1.1">

Errr, hmmm, gives you two ways to indicate the relationship of the 
milestone markers. In other words, both refID and referenceEnd (assuming 
both are datatype IDREF) point to the beginning milestone.

May not be a problem, let me think about that one for a little while. 
Does capture the end of verse, by implication anyway.

Comments?
