This linkage is done by the @ident attribute on the *Spec element and
the @key element in the *Desc element. It's not an id/idref thang --
it's just a magic token. Can't remember why we decided to do it that
way now, but it seemed a good idea at the time. In my final pass
through I will probably therefore zap all the @id attributes remaining,
since they are confusing the issue.
