the point is that <moduleRef key="namesdates"/> says "go get
namedates from Somewhere, You Know Where." This is taken
to be "The TEI". What Sylvain is saying is that we have no
formal record of this, and that <schemaSpec base="TEI">
would give some documentary context for the @key on moduleRef

no, because at the schemaSpec level there are no modules
any  more.

I am thinking that if the default output of The TEI is "tei_all",
then the modular schema fragments become even more
redundant.

I think we can afford to leave this on hold for the moment;
its more important to freeze the *Spec, and thus freeze
instance documents.
