Simple; ODF isn't a math specification, the spec doesn't have to be 100% self-consistent.

Ehm, now you are confusing me; you are the one that wants to introduce something special for a certain attribute. Based on the logic that a numeric item is the same thing as a reference to another item in the file. I'm confused how you can say that these two things are so similar that they need the same behavior. -- Thomas Zander
