Changes to existing element / attribute

Give the current name of the element / attribute. Include the tag name and the full name. For alignment with EAC-CPF and EAD, all non-empty elements of EAG 3.0 that are used outside of <control> should allow for the optional attributes @conventionDeclarationReference, @maintenanceEventReference, and @sourceReference (all with data type IDREFS). The only exception is the element <repositories>, which should not include these three attributes.

As these are all new attributes, there is not much to keep in mind with regard to converting EAG 2012 to EAG 3.0. There is, however, the edge case of @transliteration, which is to be removed and transformed into @conventionDeclarationReference in certain contexts (see #112).
