Thanks for the reply, Tim.

As I understood (but hoped otherwise -- or at least hoped that there'd be
some trick to accomplish the same goal, without having to create
app-specific attributes like Sref to do it).

Yeah, but.... In an element tree in which many elements at the top layer
must be one-of-a-kind, the target would be the same for every
cross-reference, too. So why not default it (or so I thought) with a fixed
ID value?
I hesitate to call this an idee fixe. Probably should have hesitated a bit
longer.
Thanks again.
