yes, I agree, this looks nice.  should be <g ref="#foo"/> of course....

I think I was being dumb, actually. all I meant is to preserve is
the fact that you write "dumb-waiter" and I write "dumbwaiter";
when that appears in print as

  dumb-
  waiter

I somehow care that my typesetter added the "-" and yours didn't.

all just different values for @type, I guess.
