Improve definition of @ident #2858

Description

@raffazizzi

The current description of @ident in att.identifiable says:

supplies the identifier by which this element may be referenced.

This needs to clarify that the identifier is for the ODD specification element. Such as:

<elementSpec ident="p"/>

"p" refers to the elementSpec. Also:

<classSpec ident="att.global" type="atts"/>

"att.global" refers to the classSpec.

Only in the case of an <elementSpec> or <attDef> the @ident will also define the local name of the XML construct being defined, unless an <altIdent> or @prefix is provided.

We recommend a new description:

supplies the identifier by which this ODD specification element may be referenced.

and to add a <remarks> explaining the conditions for <elementSpec> and <attDef>.
