The schema disallows that syntax, and I checked a V2 IdP and it rejected
it [1]. I tested with PolicyRequirementRuleReference, but the schema's the
same.

That said, I see the Spring code doing what you suggest it does, which
would mean that references do not work in V2. Which is sort of good, since
we could either dump it for now, or fix it to do what we want.

Anybody using references out there? I thought I had, but I don't see any,
so now I'm wondering.
