Just to fill in the blanks, the only reason to do this from the CapIDL
perspective is to provide an output format that the E system already knows
how to parse until we can get around to building a CapIDL front end in Java
or E.

Come to that, for this purposes I don't need either /id/ or /idref/
attributes either.

Anyway, just wanted to be clear that this is an interim solution.
