[osis-core] osisID as list

[Todd Tillinghast]

I am pretty sure that attributes (with the exception of lists) are
exempt from the white space removal rules.  Assuming that, there seems
to be no loss with the "restriction" strategy.  The only down side is
that we do intend this attribute as a list but are not formally
declaring it as such.  It would be easier to maintain and derive if it
were in the "list" form. 

The real benefit of the "restriction" form is that it helps us in
writing XPath expressions because it eliminates the various options
available as white space and limits us to only space.
