The entire architecture, including object resolution, is abstracted, so
there's flexibility in how resolution is implemented. If you go with
the standard object resolver, then it's a held reference. If you're
using a resolver like the Xindice document resolver, then the resolver
is instantantiating objects when necessary based on the object ids that
are being resolved.
