I am have a problem round tripping cross references.
My source doc has an element called zzhelpTopic. In that element I have 
a cross reference element called xrefOlhTOCEntry (which uses an 
olhTocEntry cross reference). The cross reference element has one 
attribute - ID, which is an ID Reference attribute.
In the source document, it holds the Id of the cross reference - BLAHBLAH.
I export this to XML, and it looks like this:
<zzhelpTopic>
<xrefOlhTOCEntry format = "olhTocEntry"
     srcfile = 
"../Cgf-UG/cgf_interfaceForHelpOnly.fm#BLAHBLAH"/></zzhelpTopic>
<zzhelpTopic>
When I import the XML file back into FrameMaker, it creates this:
Element zzhelpTopic with child element xrefOlhTOCEntry, which has the 
attributes:
format olhTocEntry
srcfile ../Cgf-UG/cgf_interfaceForHelpOnly.fm#BLAHBLAH"
How do I get it to come back in as a frame crossreference with the 
correct ID?
(I've exported my EDD to a DTD and created a structured application. I'm 
guessing there is something missing in this process, but am not sure what.)
