[DDI-SRG] Bug 92 - References not all in reusable namespace

[Joachim Wackerow]

What is really the reason for having the reference elements in reusable 
namespace: consistency or processing issues? I'm not sure if I 
understand it right.

Bug 92 says:
"CategoryRerefence in a CodeScheme is in the logical product namespace 
but CodeSchemeReference in a variable CodeRepresentation is in the 
reusable namespace"

This doesn't seem the case looking at the logical schema (currently both 
elements are in the logical namespace):

logical.xsd:

<xs:element name="CategoryReference" type="r:ReferenceType">
</xs:element>


<xs:element name="CodeSchemeReference" type="CodeSchemeReferenceType">
</xs:element>
<xs:complexType name="CodeSchemeReferenceType">
   <xs:complexContent>
     <xs:extension base="r:ReferenceType">
       <xs:sequence>
         <xs:group ref="CodeSubsetInfo"/>
       </xs:sequence>
     </xs:extension>
   </xs:complexContent>
</xs:complexType>


The reference element in group seems to be unnecessary as all the 
reference elements can be directly type of r:ReferenceType.

group.xsd:

<xs:element name="Reference" type="r:ReferenceType">
</xs:element>


Consistency is important.
But in which namespace should stay the reference elements, in the 
specific module or in reusable? What is the reasoning for either solution?

Did I miss something?
