/**
 * Symbol space for ID/IDREF.
 * 
 * In XJC, the whole ID space is considered to be splitted into
 * one or more "symbol space". For an IDREF to match an ID, we impose
 * additional restriction to the one stated in the XML rec.
 * 
 * <p>
 * That is, XJC'll require that the IDREF belongs to the same symbol
 * space as the ID. Having this concept allows us to assign more
 * specific type to IDREF.
