I have also struggled gently with this and - at present - tend not to use IDREF at all. The only - but valuable - benefit of IDREF is that it requires the parser to check presence of IDs. However I believe that the XLink approach is not to use IDREF for href so that IDREF cannot be used with XLink. Since XLink is a cornerstone of much of what I do, I can't see that I should use IDREF. Is this reasonable? P.
