We'll need to supply those with the spec on first release.

Seems fine to me. I had been thinking of the work and refsys as Harry 
said he was, though -- like namespace prefixes. They prefix would be 
defined by an attribute on the work and refsys elements, and then be 
usable down in the references and such. On the other hand, we have 
talked about standardizing names, and there is some virtue in that....
