Well, we don't know about the third one, except that it points to whatever
element *in the same document* has the @xml:id "apple". When an application
attempts to dereference it, it should make the URI in @ref absolute and
check it against the base (http://www.dictionary.com/words/a.html),
discover they are identical, decide it doesn't need to fetch anything, and
go looking in the current document for the element with the id "apple".
