Harry,
I think that is an typing error on my part. When we added <works> to
contain <work>, all the header metadata should go inside
<works><work>metadata</work></works>
Gathers all those items into one container.
Note on Todd's suggestion that we do ID/IDREF, recall the XML Names
limitations, i.e., no names that start with numbers, etc.
I am not unhappy with that restriction but just so we are aware that you
could not do 1A.Barth.Church_Dogmatics if we are using traditional
ID/IDREF.
I may try to look at the key mechanism since unlike our earlier attempt
to use it with milestones, this is a fixed location in the header (as
opposed to relative XPath expressions) and might be a good case for
their use.
