That means, one may use language="de" or country="de" or translit="de" at the 
same time? Why? I'd think one attrib would be enough.

Ok. I got no documentation on schema yet (the new XML book by O'Reilly comes 
in a month).

I just found the ID(REF) thing in my XML docs and thought it would be the
