This seems like a good idea.  The only trouble is that we have not
hashed out what is required to define a reference system.

This is an interesting distinction between declaring that a reference
system is the default and declaring that a document fully supports a
reference system.  (Does fully support mean that all identifiers in the
reference system OR that all identified elements are identified using
the reference system where possible?)  Also it would seem that the
default reference system need not be fully supported and that more than
one reference system could be fully supported.  For this behavior it
seems that we need add an "entirellyImplementedRefSystems" attribute
that is a list or refSystem IDREFs to <osisText>.

It might be worth specifying.  In the future the issues of mapping will
be hashed out.  If a document does not implement any reference system
then an external mapping to the document would have to be created for at
least one reference system.  I would think that the external document
would basically be a basically an XLink document that matches up
XPointer expressions with identifiers from the reference system.  It
might also be more meaningful (if possible) to specify the document that
provides the mapping between a reference system and the document that
does not implement a reference system.  I not sure how much of this
information needs to be put in the <work> element and how much needs to
just exist in the document being pointed to.
