[osis-core] annotateWork and annotateType

[Todd Tillinghast]

Thanks, I now better understand what we are trying to do with
annotationWork and annotationType.  

It seems that annotationWork and annotationType are a hold over from an
older time and that the attributes are no longer needed because the
preferred mechanism would be the following:
<p><reference osisRef="conf:IV.6.ii" type="annotation"
subtype="translation"/></p>

Is there any reason that annotation references should not be handled in
the same manner as all other references?
