I said:

	I do not think that key/keyref as a committee specification is
	mandatory.  

I think that people can use Schematron or their own mechanisms.  I also
think that identity constraints are too difficult or immmature at this
stage of the game.  Furthermore, as Kohsuke said, design by committee 
is not a good idea for such specs.
