What has lead up to this sentence in the draft?

The itemref attribute, if specified, must have a value that is an unordered set of unique space-separated tokens that are case-sensitive, consisting of IDs of elements in the same document.

To me this initially seems restrictive without a motivation why it should not be allowed to reference an absolute url with an id reference appended.
