[tei-council] add idno to att.canonical?

[Hugh Cayless]

So the <person> has an identifier, and there’s also a separate authority file containing URI identifiers, meaning you want to reference the correct URI identifier via a URL like http://example.com/person_authority.xml#ABCD? And maybe the actual ID is http://example.com/person/1234? So you want 
<idno ref="http://example.com/person_authority.xml#ABCD">ABCD</idno>?

Is that right? Essentially you have an identifier that has a canonical URI associated with it in a separate authority file, but you can’t put the latter URI in an idno? 

But why not?
