I believe it is an IDREF, though it's main purpose is to set the 
inherited default so you don't have to stick the prefix on each 
following reference. When an osisWork value appears embedded in a 
full reference, of course it isn't technically syntactically an IDREF.

Writing this, I realize that for consistency we should have an 
osisRefSys we can set as default, too, yes? Either a second attribute 
(yech), or osisWork allows both work and reftype to be include in its 
value (in which case the name is inconsistent.

Picky, picky....
