butthat's tricky. your ODD file says <memberOf key="att.naming"/>.
You can't change that to <memberOf target="#att.naming"/>,
as "att.naming" is not in the current document (and by the way does
not have an xml:id of "att.naming"...), but neither is it a web 
resource. You'd
have to say

 <memberOf 
target="http://www.tei-c.org/release/xml/tei/odd/Source/Guidelines/en/guidelines-xml.xml#core"/>

which would

 - be a mess
 - preclude you working offline
 - stop you transparently switching to French
 - make a big hole in Roma (mendable, but big)

specDesc more arguably could use target (though we'd have to change all 
the IDs)
