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

[Wendy Thomas]

Achim,
Here are some spreadsheets providing the location of all r:Reference type 
elements and Reference elements by location. There are a number of cases 
where something is declared in say logical and used also in datacollection 
due to the way we have used the category and coding schemes. However, I 
echo you question of the purpose of putting ALL reference type elements in 
resuable.
