[DDI-SRG] Single child Reference element in referenecs

[I-Lin Kuo]

I would even go so far as to say that @isReference is redundant.

I vaguely recollect that the reason given for the Reference was to identify
elements of ReferenceType via a test of //*[Reference]. It didn't convince
me at the time, as I think that with the elimination of the extra Reference
element, //*[ends-with(local-name(),'Reference')] would work, or
//*[URN|ID].
