In this case SummaryStatisticTypeCoded you don't have the option of using 
and external. We restricted it to an internal list. At least this is my 
understanding. You can use a value of UseOther and supply it in the 
otherValue attribute but you can't say where it is from.

If I am misreading your problem and causing you frustration just mentally 
smack me on the head and ignore me :)
