> The use of such "homonymns" is generally an evil which should be strongly discouraged. So I agree to name the element dataElementRef is better.  Though I think the attribute should remain ref rather than id - id has a different connotation.  Also I want to easily find elements which have references to others without doing a regex on the element name :-)  So we will have:

Agree, even tho the ref-ref is a little annoying.

> Beyond the naming issue, the particular case you have fixed is another example of the reversed associations you picked up earlier - I have an indication of the dataSets the dataElement belongs to rather than the other way round.  I'll quickly reverse this.  Hope you are not editing now ...

See you made it, any merging will have to be on my side :)
