vialotaion of relaxng schema constraints

Hi folks,

I just checked out validation of some documents against the schema with 
libxml2's xmllint. I have never used that before but wanted to check out 
libxml2's relaxng support.
Well, lots of errors but all of the same type:

office-schema-1.0-draft-19.rng:13704: element ref: Relax-NG parser error 
: Found forbidden pattern list//ref

And it's right, ref isn't allowed in lists; (see section 'list 
constraints' at http://books.xmlschemata.org/relaxng/ch17s02.html)

I'm not quite sure about the implications of this, since I'm not an 
expert at all on relaxng matters. Replacing refs with the original 
definition would fix the error but we'd lose the nice abstraction level 
we've got by using defines for patterns (like e.g. percent)

Any suggestions?

Bests
