Most applications that need references use them explicitly; e.g., they do something like id(@idref) in an XPath. In SGML, ID and IDREF(S) were subject to the same case normalization rules, but since that's gone in XML, it's not an issue any more. A validator needs to ensure that all IDREFs are valid, but we're only considering the case of non-validating parsers. ~Chris - -- Christopher R.
