Summary: Docs: xnote's "target" attribute only accepts citation keys

Initial Comment:
On refdb.sourceforge.net/xnote/elements/link.html it says that you can use the ID to denote references in the "target" attribute of xnote's "link" element.  However, my observation is that you must use citation keys (which makes things simpler for me by the way).

Message:
I see. I've updated the xnote DTD to allow "refid" as a type to specify
IDs, in addition to "reference" which is used for citation keys. The
documentation was updated accordingly, see revision 704.

Sorry, my mistake.  The link should have been
http://refdb.sourceforge.net/manual/ch07s05.html (the bottom of the page).

Message:
Unless I'm dense, refdb.sourceforge.net/xnote/elements/link.html does not
explicitly claim that you can use the ID. It talks about the "name" of a
reference, which should certainly be rephrased to say "citation key"
explicitly in order to avoid confusion. However, internally refdbd is
supposed to be able to use ID values as well. It is only the xnote DTD
which currently does not allow the "refid" type value at this point
("reference" is treated as citation key). I'll add this to the DTD
shortly.
As for addlink, IDs should be supported since revision 696. If that still
does not work, let me know.

Message:
Apparently, even with "addlink" you can't use IDs:

refdbc: deletelink :NCK:=refdb-refdb :ID:=1
419:refdb-refdb -> REFERENCE:1
999:1 removed:0 skipped:0 failed
refdbc: addlink :NCK:=refdb-refdb :ID:=1
414:refdb-refdb -> REFERENCE:1
999:0 added:0 skipped:1 failed
